This is ususally because named has fallen back to plain DNS.  Please
ensure that you have a clean EDNS path and any forwarders you use
also have clean EDNS paths.

A clean EDNS path will accept EDNS responses upto 4096 bytes in
size.  Firewalls and DNS proxies in SOHO routers are known devices
which interfere with this.  Sometimes intentionally (firewalls) and
some unintentionally (SOHO routers).

Firewalls must be configured to accept DNS responses bigger than
512 bytes.  They and SOHO routers also need to handle fragmented
responses.

A flakey link can also cause fallback to plain EDNS when too many
transactions timeout.

The dlv namespace is marked as "must-be-secure" by named as a side
effect of dnssec-lookaside clause.
