Hello All,

I’m currently working with BIND 9.19.24 and have successfully implemented EDNS 
EDE (Extended DNS Error) with the following configuration:

        response-policy {
            zone "rpz.example.com" ede blocked; }
            add-soa false

This correctly returns the OPT code 15 for a blocked response:

;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION:
; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 4096
; OPT=15: 00 0f ("..")

I would like to add some additional text to the EDE response, such as a reason 
for the block (e.g., "Blocked because – REASON").

According to RFC 5198, it should be possible to use an extra-text field:

EXTRA-TEXT:
A variable-length, UTF-8-encoded [RFC5198] text field that may hold additional 
textual information. This information is intended for human consumption (not 
automated parsing). The EDE text may be null terminated but MUST NOT be assumed 
to be; the length MUST be derived from the OPTION-LENGTH field. The EXTRA-TEXT 
field may be zero octets in length, indicating that there is no EXTRA-TEXT 
included. Care should be taken not to include private information in the 
EXTRA-TEXT field that an observer would not otherwise have access to, such as 
account numbers.

However, I haven’t been able to find an option for extra-text in the BIND 
configuration. Is this feature not supported yet, or is there a different 
approach I should be using?

Thanks for your help!
