Hey authority DNS server operators. Can you make a change to your
servers to always allow TCP client connections? Would this be difficult?
What would be the harm?

what RFCs forbid TCP for clients? I thought TCP was an option for
clients. I'm not spending the rest of my sunday though reading
rfcs....... and sure as hell not joining another list because to tell
you the truth, I don't really care as much about the typical angry
Sunday list poster (talk about redundant statement....)
thanks for the thoughts, though Paul. I'll leave the rest of this
discussion (should it exist) to others in their forum of choice.... I'm
thinking of nice insalade caprese with true mozarella di bufalo right
now.... now That's A Sunday!"
