    The arin.net zone and in particular <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.arin.net">www.arin.net</a> does not seem to be
    DNS Sec signed. It would be good for ARIN to demonstrate their
    leadership in the Internet technical community and sign their
    forward DNS zone, arin.net. As an example both Lacnic and RIPE have
    signed their forward zones.<br>
    <br>
    If this means changing DNS registrars, then please do so.<br>
    <br>

    We will add this additional feature to a planned upgrade to our
    existing DNSSEC signing services and roll out signed forward zones
    that ARIN is authoritative for by Q2 of 2014. This suggestion will
    remain open.<span style="font-family:Helvetica;
