Good afternoon David,

Thanks for the help! I'm running ports ?net?/bind911 of FreeBSD
11-STABLE with the GENERIC kernel. When I start bind, I get this in my
logs:

I haven't read the bind source code yet but I'm assuming that the
inability to start rndc at 127.0.0.1#953 is related to the
TCP_FASTOPEN error from the log above. Not much Google reveals this
thread: 

     https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/59367/

Which talks about the problem and mentions one, and only one, solution
of rebuilding the kernel to support TCP_FASTOPEN.

That solution is kind of heavyweight for me. If you read more about
tcp_fastopen, you'll get indications that the code may be too green
right now to be enabled by default. Please pardon any file blunders
here, I'm at work so it's not easy to research this completely. From
what I can see though, with the option id defined in <socket/tcp.h>
but it needs to be compiled in and then enabled via sysctl if you want
to actually use it. 

I was hoping that bind had a runtime option disable this feature but I
can't find it anywhere. I'll look at the bind source code
tonight. I'll be hoping to find a config switch or something that can
turn TCP_FASTOPEN off even if the header files say that it's
available. If it's there, I'll submit a patch to the port's config to
toggle that switch at compile time.
