Hi,

did you try writing to elbrev.com <http://elbrev.com/> operators to fix their 
servers to stop breaking DNS protocol? It often helps. (I'm ccing the contact 
in their SOA records, so let's see if anything happens.)

It's not lack of EDNS0 support, but they fail to properly process unknown EDNS0 
options - DNS Cookie in this specific example:

;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: FORMERR, id: 57723
;; flags: qr; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1

;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION:
; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 1232
; COOKIE: ec9c994f850fe500 (echoed)

vs

ondrej@howl:~/Projects/bind9 (v9_18 $%=)$ bin/dig/dig +norec +noall +comments 
+nocookie bemacom.se @dns1.elbrev.com
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 16277
;; flags: qr aa; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1

;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION:
; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 4000

Their servers are clearly violating existing DNS standards:

<https://ednscomp.isc.org/ednscomp/11fd9e2e46>

This is kind of moot argument - the DNS needs to evolve, and it can't evolve if 
we keep supporting broken stuff. This needs to be fixed on the authoritative 
operator side, not in BIND 9.
