That is rather out of date: it does not cover some important BIND-9.7
DNSSEC validation features, specifically RFC 5011 automatic trust anchor
rollover, and it does not explain how to install the root trust anchor.
Also you do not need to explicitly turn on DNSSEC validation: it is on by
default but only works if you have configured one or more trust anchors.

Here is my recent how-to: http://fanf.livejournal.com/107310.html
