Disable certificates verification:
VERIFY=0 dnslookup example.org tls://127.0.0.1

RRTYPE=AAAA dnslookup example.org tls://127.0.0.1
RRTYPE=HTTPS dnslookup example.org tls://127.0.0.1
Specify the class of query (default IN):
CLASS=CH dnslookup example.org tls://127.0.0.1
Set DNSSEC DO bit in the request's OPT record:
DNSSEC=1 dnslookup example.org tls://8.8.8.8
Specify EDNS subnet:
SUBNET=1.2.3.4/24 dnslookup example.org tls://8.8.8.8
Add EDNS0 Padding:
PAD=1 dnslookup example.org tls://127.0.0.1
Specify EDNS option with code point code and optionally payload of value as
a hexadecimal string: EDNSOPT=code:value. Example (equivalent of dnsmasq's
--add-cpe-id=12345678):
EDNSOPT=65074:3132333435363738 RRTYPE=TXT dnslookup o-o.myaddr.l.google.com tls://8.8.8.8
Combine multiple options:
RRTYPE=TXT SUBNET=1.1.1.1/24 PAD=1 dnslookup o-o.myaddr.l.google.com tls://8.8.8.8
