Hello,

The querylog of BIND in my hosts is like:

client 58.240.56.18#16768: query: s18.mhxx.game.yy.com IN A -EDC

For the last part, I know the '-' means non-recursion,'E' means EDNS.
But what are the 'D' and 'C' flags?

D = DO (DNSSEC Okay), client is requesting DNSSEC records and AD bit set if server is doing validation and can validate the zone

C = CD (Checking Disabled), client does not want the server to do validation on the response, but to return it regardless.

Although setting both flags sounds contradictory, it makes some sense where a validating forwarding resolver wants to do its own validation and enforce its own policy for dealing with valid/insecure/bogus zones.
