So, for example 'fedoraproject.org' wouldn't be signed, but
'us.fedoraproject.org' would be?  I *think* that's possible but I haven't
gotten it to work.  If I can get that to work though I guess that makes
sense because A) it'd work for now and B) I'm sure over time pdns's dnssec
will continue to mature.
