unable to resolve *.irs.gov at local bind 9.12.0 server ?

[Mark Andrews]

Google’s servers don’t add EDNS options to the queries they make so they don’t see the bogus BADVERS  response from the servers.

BADVERS should never be returned to a EDNS version 0 query but these servers do when the see a EDNS option. There are also other servers that return BADVERS to any EDNS. query.  Named falls back to plain DNS when it sees BADVERS to a EDNS query. Unfortunately this doesn’t work when the zone is signed and the server is validating.
