If I do a 'whois posix.co.za' - it states whether the zone is DNSSEC 
signed or not.

If I do a 'whois 192.96.24.0' - there is no indication whether there is 
any (reverse) DNSSEC or not.

I'm a believer in DNSSEC... and I sign my reverse zones and I update 
that periodically. The rest of my number resource information is pretty 
static. Anyhow, if the DNSSEC updated info was taken into account, my 
reverse zones (Edited in the past 12 month - so up to date) would be 
fine. Perhaps a simple process of login, check the data, click an "I was 
here" button, would be sufficient?
