Hi Steinar,

That's because you should not be touching these settings. In fact it is
currently documented as "pdns_recursor.cc:    ::arg().setSwitch(
"disable-edns", "Disable EDNS - EXPERIMENTAL, LEAVE DISABLED" )= """.

For now, everyone should be leaving these settings to their default values
since, as you observe, things break if you touch them.

It turns out that the internet still (2013) requires careful probing before
using EDNS.
