TCP would work, but it makes it more difficult to do Anycast, which works well with UDP and DNS.

Paul, Sorry if this is real stupid for some reason because I don't think about DNS all day (I'm the ldap dude) but since we have faster networks and faster cpus today, what would be the harm in switching to use TCP for DNS clients? The latency on the web isn't dns anymore ever it seems to me..... Wouldn't that eliminate the ability to poison clients' caches? any why wouldn't persistent client-server dns connections make sense? any stupid little bsd or linux box can handle several thousand connections today pretty easily if tuned correctly by some reasonably competent primate CP -- Chris Paul Rex Consulting, Inc 157 Rainbow Drive #5703, Livingston, TX 77399-1057 email: chris.paul () rexconsulting net * web: http://www.rexconsulting.net* phone, direct: +1, 831.706.4211 phone, toll-free: +1, 888.403.8996 The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
