the caveats and exceptions listed in the numbered notes below. Note

that a number of these RFCs do not have the status of Internet

standards but are proposed or draft standards, experimental RFCs,

or Best Current Practice (BCP) documents.

[1] Queries to zones that have failed to load return SERVFAIL rather

than a non-authoritative response. This is considered a feature.

[2] CLASS ANY queries are not supported. This is considered a feature.

[3] Wildcard records are not supported in DNSSEC secure zones.

[4] Servers authoritative for secure zones being resolved by BIND 9

must support EDNS0 (RFC2671), and must return all relevant SIGs and

NXTs in responses rather than relying on the resolving server to

perform separate queries for missing SIGs and NXTs.
