9.10 and 9.11 are drop in replacements.  Basically all updates are
drop in replacements.

9.11 adds DNS COOKIE options to the out going requests.  This exposes
stupid firewall configurations and some broken handling of EDNS
queries.  https://ednscomp.isc.org/compliance/summary.html contain
graphs of how different populations of servers behave to different
EDNS extensions being used.  For the most part it just results in
additional queries being made as named falls back to plain DNS
queries when some of this misbehaviour is detected.  Echoing of the
option is currently ignored.

If the broken servers are also serving signed zones then lookups
will fail as responses to plain DNS queries do not contain RRSIGs.
Manual intervention is required to work with these servers but the
population of such servers is small.  I've got six entries in
named.conf.

e.g.
        server 117.56.91.234 { send-cookie false; };
        server 199.252/16 { send-cookie false; };

Unknown EDNS options are supposed to be ignored.
