Verisign's DNSSEC Debugger

Verisign doesn't archive test results, unlike DNSViz. So here's a screenshot I took on April 4, 2014:

DNSViz

DNSViz did not report problems.

First noticed on Twitter

• "The brokenness of .gop at its delegation, visually: http://dnsviz.net/d/nic.gop/Uz7P8Q/dnssec/ #DNSSEC" @bortzmeyer
• "TTL of the broken DS of nic.gop is one entire week (to be sure that, even after being fixed, the problem will stay for 7 days) #DNSSEC" @bortzmeyer
• "Trying to tell the .GOP admins about their #DNSSEC failure: the email address in the SOA of nic.gop is hostmaster@nic.gop.nic.gop #testing" @bortzmeyer
