Even with these changes there is still a problem. Although the hesiod
program will use a VC to connect to the local server, the local server
won't use a VC to contact the authoritative server, so you are right back
where you started from.
Perhaps someone could comment on how the current verion of BIND handles large
answers. From the debugging output it would appear that the largest packet
it is willing to send is 504 bytes despite using the 8k buffer size.
Perhaps the forwarder should use a VC if it receives a truncated answer on
its 1st try.
