Hi,

See these results:

results from probe at 2012-01-26 14:49:28

ssl443 193.110.157.123: OK tcp80 193.110.157.123: OK authority 128.8.10.90: 
error timeout
no cache: no DNS servers have been supplied via DHCP

DNSSEC results fetched from open resolvers over TCP


I think "over TCP" means port 80, not port 443. But I recommend telling
the user whether tcp80 or ssl443 is used.

Second, if indeed it is using tcp80, I suggest that since we can do
ssl443, we might as well use that to give the user some query privacy.

So I propose to use ssl443 over port80 if both are available.

Paul
