What I have noticed from my logs, is that bind will fall back to resend the 
query with EDNS size=512 if it does not get an answer, then the answer it gets 
is likely to request to switch to TCP.

This may prove troublesome when fetching some TXT records with low TTL, 
especially the SPF kind… TXT at the organizational level can be overloaded with 
“prove its you” strings.

Set the EDNS advertised size if you are in this situation, to skip one step.
