Hi Tony,

>>it's a record in the additional section of
the response - specifically the OPT record which includes the EDNS buffer
size, DNSSEC flag, and other extensions

Is there an option to disable completely the OPT record information provided from Bind?

Thank you!
Francesco

That isn't an additional query, it's a record in the additional section of
the response - specifically the OPT record which includes the EDNS buffer
size, DNSSEC flag, and other extensions.
