Google Public DNS has not implemented EDNS TCP keepalive, neither as a
server for its clients, nor in its TCP connections to authoritative
servers. Has BIND added support on its client side, or only as a DNS
server? It seems like Unbound has client and server-side support (
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=231283), and the GetDNS
client code also supports it (https://getdnsapi.net/releases/getdns-0-9-0/)
but those are the only ones I found. I don't see any implementations of RFC
8490 (DNS Stateful Operations).

In any case, as I wrote before, the TCP connections Jake is seeing are not
from Google Public DNS, and quite possibly not even DNS at all (let alone
EDNS).
