.. versionadded:: 1.6.0
- Set to true (defaults to false) to drop empty queries (qdcount=0) right away with a NotImp rcode. dnsdist used to drop these queries by default because most rules and existing Lua code expects a query to have a qname, qtype and qclass. However :rfc:`7873` uses these queries to request a server cookie, and :rfc:`8906` as a conformance test, so answering these queries with NotImp is much better than not answering at all.
