Comment:

 Changes are OK so please merge.

 However, this adds the OPT RR to all upstream queries (except those where
 an incoming packet is passed upstream with minimal change).
 [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2671#section-5.3 RFC 2671 Section 5.3]
 states:
 {{{
 5.3. Responders who do not understand these protocol extensions are
      expected to send a response with RCODE NOTIMPL, FORMERR, or
      SERVFAIL.  Therefore use of extensions should be "probed" such that
      a responder who isn't known to support them be allowed a retry with
      no extensions if it responds with such an RCODE.  If a responder's
      capability level is cached by a requestor, a new probe should be
      sent periodically to test for changes to responder capability.
 }}}
 This suggests that we need to add the ability to send message upstream
 with no EDNS0.  It also suggests that the NSAS needs to be extended to
 include a record of whether a nameserver has EDNS0 support.
