Re: traceroute-like tool for UDP or TCP packet

["James Fields" <jvfields () tds net>]

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.

All DNS client requests/replies are UDP, regardless of size (they're
rarely, if ever, big).  DNS zone transfers, however, are TCP
communications.
