eDNS fallback perhaps?

I never understood the use of DNS ALG's, unless it's to perform a NAT
translation on addresses (which is a really bad idea) they just seem
like a waste of valuable resources. Far better to ACL down so that DNS
queries can only go to trusted DNS servers which can run something that
doesn't break on a malformed query.
