New out of spec?
dns via tcp is for addesses larger than udp packets so all conversations should start at udp then switch to tcp if too long

New Quite possibly.
Though I don't recall the RFC saying attempting DNS via UDP first is mandatory or recommended and couldn't be bothered to go look. :-) But I admit to being curious as to how accomodating resolvers might be on that point, which is why I changed it.

New TCP is also for AXFR
Without it... even though AXFR *CAN* work over UDP, the initiation requires TCP.
