+5029.	[func]		Workarounds for servers that misbehave when queried
+			with EDNS have been removed, because these broken
+			servers and the workarounds for their noncompliance
+			cause unnecessary delays, increase code complexity,
+			and prevent deployment of new DNS features. See
+			https://dnsflagday.net for further details. [GL #150]
+
 5028.	[bug]		Spread the initial RRSIG expiration times over the
 			entire working sig-validity-interval when signing a
 			zone in named to even out re-signing and transfer

+	  <para>
+	    EDNS (Extended DNS) is a standard that was first specified
+	    in 1999. It is required for DNSSEC validation, DNS COOKIE
+	    options, and other features. There are broken and outdated
+	    DNS servers and firewalls still in use which misbehave when
+	    queried with EDNS; for example, they may drop EDNS queries
+	    rather than replying with FORMERR. BIND and other recursive
+	    name servers have traditionally employed workarounds in this
+	    situation, retrying queries in different ways and eventually
+	    falling back to plain DNS queries without EDNS.
+	  </para>
+	  <para>
+	    Such workarounds cause unnecessary resolution delays,
+	    increase code complexity, and prevent deployment of new DNS
+	    features. As of February 2019, all major DNS software vendors
+	    have agreed to remove these workarounds; see
+	    <link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"

+	    as of release 9.14.0.

+	  <para>
+	    As a result, some domains may be non-resolvable without manual
+	    intervention.  In these cases, resolution can be restored by
+	    adding <command>server</command> clauses for the offending
+	    servers, specifying <command>edns no</command> or
+	    <command>send-cookie no</command>, depending on the specific
+	    noncompliance.
+	  </para>
+	  <para>
+	    To determine which <command>server</command> clause to use,
+	    run the following commands to send queries to the authoritative
+	    servers for the broken domain:

+	  <para>
+	    If the first command fails but the second succeeds, the
+	    server most likely needs <command>send-cookie no</command>.

+	    needs EDNS to be fully disabled with <command>edns no</command>.
