OpenDNS just announced DNSCrypt, an encryption proxy for DNS. You basically run a daemon on your machine, then make your settings point to 127.0.0.1 for the nameserver, and it'll proxy DNS over an encrypted connection. I don't know which nameservers support DNSCrypt, I guess OpenDNS's do. This does address privacy concerns which DNSSEC does not. Time for an Android port? :)
Here's some media on it:
