[Unbound-users] Disabling EDNS0?

[krad]

If there is no in app support, then your best bet is to probably block the
outbound tcp packet to the relevant auth server on the unbound hosts
firewall, but do it gracefully ie send a disconnect packet rather than
silently dropping. If you use iptables have a look at ipset, or if its bsd
pf will work well with tables. That way you can block for certain hosts
only. Managing the hosts might be a bit of a headache though.
