Hi Mukund,

I recall reading that ECS is supported when BIND acts as authoritative
server, but there is no support in resolver mode (tried unsuccessfully to
find the exact link). Thanks for clarifying. I am using BIND 9.10 and shall
switch to using the 9.11 alpha release.

Regards,
Ramachandra Kasyap
