How does a cache-resolver know that it's time to issue a query with edns0?

        cache-resolver that support EDNS0 will make EDNS0 queries
        by default.  They will fallback to plain DNS if the query
        fails or they get a response that indicated the authoritative
        server doesn't support EDNS.

        BIND's been making EDNS0 queries for ~8 years now. If your
        cache-resolver doesn't support EDNS it is long past time to
        upgrade.


excellent, thanks! (as always). Any thoughts on the possible lack of
resilence from losing 9 server names/ips in the v4 to v6 move? (and I
realize that later most/all root boxes will have both addresses)
