But to actually answer these questions, modifying the flags is
presumably because traditional req_query builds an rfc1035 query or
edns query based on these flags derived from from resolv.conf, and
Postfix either assumes or wants to support the case where resolv.conf
is not already configured for edns, perhaps because it was generated
by a dhcp client.
