Description of problem:
Support for "options attempts:X" was "lost" when upstream switched from liblwres to libirs (in version 9.12). It was re-added in upstream version 9.17 and downstream patch was added in Fedora in version 32:9.16.28-2 of the package in May 2022.

However the el9 version of bind packages (at version 32:9.16.23-11 currently) still didn't get the patch added.

Please re-add the patch to get back support for resolv.conf options in RHEL9.
