I would love to be paid enough money to work on MaraDNS full time.  If
I were, I could have a working DNSSEC prototype going in six months
and have stable code with DNSSEC done by the end of the year.  I could
then merge the authoritative code with the recursive code again, along
with a stand-alone recursive daemon for people who need just recursion
(just as there is a non-recursive caching-only version of Deadwood for
people who do not need full DNS recursion).

If I could find an employer willing to have me work on MaraDNS every
other Friday, I probably wouldn't be able to implement DNSSEC nor full
merging of the two code bases, but I could implement features people
have been asking for, such a split horizon, including other files in
one's mararc, and so on.
