Anyone have experience with using SSHFP records to avoid the so-called anti pattern of trust on first use?

Biggest problem with SSHFS RR is the trustworthiness of DNS to deliver the answer record.

Most everything do not enforce their DNS resolver to only return the DNSSEC-verified Answer RR.

Not that problem at all if you set the resolver to return only the DNSSEC-verified answer RRs; then again, most common websites would then stop working simply because they don’t use or have a proper setup of their DNSSEC overhead.

Most implementation of distribution of the SSH public keys are delivered under cover of TLS, IPSec, or variants of secured tunneling just because … because it IS A metadata.
