Hello Robert,

What are status queries? Were they ever defined? Are they obsolete?

I have been unable to find a definition, and I tried quite hard earlier this year when a customer complained we were not handling them! Some VOIP equipment that shall remain unnamed needed to do ENUM queries, but only after a successful ‘health check’.

The health check looked like this (sorry, don’t have the pcap handy, just this summary):
ID 0
flags all zero except for the rcode=2
all counts zero
6 trailing NUL bytes

Once pdns_server started responding NOTIMP, instead of dropping the query, the equipment was happy.

Kind regards,
