This is kind of a silly question, but I just discovered this and now I'm curious about it.

If I run dig DS example.com @resolver.example +dnssec +multi, the result is this:

example.com.        21600   IN  RRSIG   DS 8 2 86400 (
20220902055959 20220826044959 32298 com.

sEXDX1GdC9wrq6Oh3R4Z2FJq8NKpBCflIV+nBtInFOv1UQ== )

I guess my DNSSEC configuration is... slightly hateful?

This is currently the longest valid English word I've seen in an RRSIG, and it just happens to be on my primary domain.

What are the chances of this happening for 5-letter words?

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to share what the domain is, but if I am I have no qualms about posting it.

  • "This is currently the longest valid English word I've seen in an RRSIG" Because you have seen others, in a study to find more :-)? – Patrick Mevzek Aug 26 '22 at 23:36

    https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/3913005/how-to-find-probability-of-5-letter-word-appearing-in-1800-character-long-random seems to have the math to calculate that – HBruijn Aug 27 '22 at 06:40
  • Also: why just English? And the other languages, at least those not needing anything outside US-ASCII :-) ? – Patrick Mevzek Aug 29 '22 at 01:10
