The previous poster was correct - there are extremely rare cases where a client can detect that it got a truncated reply from a DNS server due to the size, and can re-connect TCP to issue the query. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Austin" <baustin () ableinc com> To: <security-basics () securityfocus com> Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2003 6:23 PM Subject: RE: traceroute-like tool for UDP or TCP packet All DNS client requests/replies are UDP, regardless of size (they're rarely, if ever, big). DNS zone transfers, however, are TCP communications. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
