+ When set to the default value of <userinput>yes</userinput>,
+ COOKIE EDNS options will be sent when applicable in
+ replies to client queries. If set to
+ <userinput>no</userinput>, COOKIE EDNS options will not
+ be sent in replies. This can only be set at the global
+ options level, not per-view.

+ <para>
+ <command>answer-cookie</command> is only available
+ as a temporary measure, for use when
+ <command>named</command> shares an IP address
+ with other servers that do not yet support DNS
+ COOKIE. A mismatch between servers on the same
+ address is not expected to cause operational
+ problems, but the option to disable COOKIE responses
+ so that all servers have the same behavior is
+ provided out of an abundance of caution. DNS COOKIE
+ is an important security mechanism and should not be
+ disabled unless absolutely necessary. The
+ <command>answer-cookie</command> option is obsolete
+ as of BIND 9.13.
