Anyone else having trouble with .gov DNS failing with edns-udp-size
set to 512?

You need an UDP size of at least 1220 for DNSSEC, see RFC 3226,
section 3.  A query that advertises a smaller buffer size is
non-compliant.  BIND will send such queries, but this is a
controversial feature.

This has been noted before, for example:

Subject: [dnsext] Failure to add glue MUST cause TC to be set.

Message-Id: <20110219210716.72943A5602B () drugs dv isc org>

And nameservers that don't set TC when they can't fit glue are
broken RFC 1034.
