1) Test your name server to be sure the diagnostic is correct:

dig +bufsize=4096 @YOUR-NAME-SERVER SOA YOUR-DOMAIN

You should get in the answer something like:

;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION:
; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 4096

(To test with a non-EDNS name server, 'dig +bufsize=4096
@uz5dz39x8xk8wyq3dzn7vpt670qmvzx0zd9zg4ldwldkv6kx9ft090.ns.yp.to SOA
yp.to' and with a EDNS name server 'dig +bufsize=4096 @f.ext.nic.fr
SOA fr' so you can see the difference)

2) BIND supports EDNS for so long that everyone forget when it was
included. So, it is unlikely it is the fault of your name server. If
your name server does not support EDNS, it probably means there is a
broken middlebox (firewall or something like that: most are configured
by ignorants, specially when it comes to the DNS) that you have to
fix.
