Well depends on what you mean by "control the zone": If your resolver that verifies the DNSSEC has its starting trust anchor for DNSSEC above your zone (i.e. at the root zone), every higher level could in principle make forgeries. But if you have your own keys configured as trust anchors in your resolvers, than you're of course safe - but then I wouldn't see the big advantage of using DNSSEC. :-) Cheers, Chris.
