The .nl registry (Netherlands) has over 5 million domain names registered and is the largest DNSSEC signed zone in the world with over 1 million signed domains. SIDN, the .nl registry, took a collaborative approach to deploying DNSSEC by initiating and coordinating mass signing among their 1700 registrars. Through support from PowerDNS and the Dutch government, they were able to sign 239 registrars to date and continue working on further steps like DNSSEC secure transfers and health monitoring.
