Jun 2005 RFC2671 (EDNS0) to Draft Standard Most of the issues with RFC2671 are the result on non conformance w/ RFC 103[45] and firewall that *think* they know what is a valid DNS packet or feel that IP fragmentation should not be allowed. Note the later two usually affect the client side and when lookups start failing they usually address the issue. The non conformance with RFC 103[45] usually takes the form of dropping packets the server doesn't know how to handle rather than returning a error code. Note: in general EDNS0 just works.
