Hello Robert,

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,
