I wish they would stop calling it End-to-End, it's misleading, they don't talk about DNS at all. One weak link in the chain means the entire chain is weak.

working fine here

there are others to check if you have it (I'm pretty sure you won't unless you have explicitly set it up yourself)

google 'DNSSEC test'

Check if you already have it enabled (unlikely if this is the first time you're learning about this) http://test.dnssec-or-not.com/
