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.

Regards,
Karl
