DNSSEC HW Support

[prock111 at yahoo.com]

I'd like to get your feedback on the following thoughts regarding DNSSEC HW support.

Any layer 2 or 3 devices forwarding frames or packets should not be affected by the implementation of DNSSEC regardless of the type of protocol (TCP/UDP) or the query size (large or small).

Layer 4 devices (smart switches) should not be affected by the implementation of DNSSEC using the same logic.

My thoughts are these products simply forward data based on an frame, IP address, or protocol and should not be affected by the implementation of DNSSEC.  Would you agree?

Thanks in advance.
