Lookup routes lookups to our selves to make it follow the plugin chain *again*, but with a (possibly) new query. As
we are doing the query against ourselves again, there is no actual new hop, as such RFC 6891 does not apply and we
need the EDNS0 option present in the *original* query to be present here too.
