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)
It won't be a issue. IPv6 capable nameservers are supposed to use EDNS (see IPv6 node requirements). The roots can be tuned to preference A vs AAAA records. Most/all currently maintained caching servers support EDNS now or the next release will support EDNS.
