From what I have read, public DNS servers should support both UDP and TCP queries. TCP queries are often used when a UDP query fails, or if the answer is over a certain length.
UDP is used for queries.
TCP is used for zone transfers.
If my server responded to TCP queries from anyone other than a secondary server, I would be VERY concerned.
I see long TXT records from some DNSBLs that won't fit in a UDP packet on a daily basis. Certainly nothing to be concerned about. ~Seth
