When EDNS0 client subnet information is included in a DNS request, and DNS caching is enabled, the responses differ in their inclusion of EDNS0 client subnet information based on whether the response was supplied by the cache or not.
Inconsistent behavior.
This occurs when EDNS0 client subnet information is included in a DNS request, and DNS caching is enabled.
To allow consistent processing of any EDNS0 queries with ECS information, use a DNS profile where DNS caching is disabled by default, and selectively use the DNS cache only for non-EDNS0 queries.
In this release, responses are now consistent when caching is enabled. When DNS cache is enabled, EDNS0 EDNS Client Subnet (ECS) information is removed from the DNS query as it is not supported
