+ Log queries that have been forced to use plain

+ the remote servers not being RFC 1034 compliant
+ (not always returning FORMERR or similar to

+ targeted at servers that fail to respond to
+ DNS queries that they don't understand.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Note: the log message can also be due to

+ on DNSSEC validation which requires EDNS for
