edns-opt-passthrough-smoke

Purpose

Clients that send EDNS (Extension Mechanisms for DNS) expect replies that still carry an EDNS OPT. On the default forward path, Conduit must not strip that OPT from a successful peer answer.

How it works

  1. The peer answers a local smoke A name.
  2. A client queries that name through Conduit using EDNS.
  3. The reply must succeed with EDNS present, matching a direct query to the peer.

Outcomes

Outcome Meaning for operators
pass Successful A through Conduit still includes EDNS, matching the peer.
fail EDNS missing via Conduit while present from the peer, or the answer otherwise disagreed.
skip This peer/profile combination is out of scope for the case.
characterized Not used for this case today. If it appeared, it would mean a documented peer-specific quirk rather than a Conduit regression.
