Package: bind9 Version: 1:9.10.3.dfsg.P4-12.3+deb9u5 Severity: normal Hello,
Please deliver a default configuration which prevents fragmentation of UDP EDNS datagrams. DNS Flag Day 2020 is focusing "on the operational and security problems in DNS caused by Internet Protocol packet fragmentation." https://dnsflagday.net/ They recommend: options { edns-udp-size 1232; max-udp-size 1232; }; FYI, it seems the DNS Flag Day people involve some big players. They are interested in removing work-arounds from their own systems which provide interoperability with other people's poorly configured or poorly operating DNS servers.
