A UDP traceroute is definitely not reliable as a network debugging tool. UDP is 
commonly filtered by firewalls in entreprise or managed networks. You need at 
least a ICMP traceroute or a mtr.
As an example, the UDP traceroute gives exactly the same kind of results in my 
home or servers as Ken Peng, though i don't have any trouble in making DNS 
queries at it, even with a +notcp flag.

What we may observe from tests is that some dns servers failed without an 
obvious connectivity problem (ping is OK). As a consequence, i think it would 
be really interesting to test for instance with an arbitrary dns server and see 
whether it fails or not.

Best regards
Emmanuel Thierry
