Okay, then the first way I mentioned for checking should be sufficient. Well, perhaps make it dig $RANDOM.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. +dnssec instead, so that you'll receive an even larger response. But actually, you already know that your DNS can cope with responses >512 bytes, if you look at this: dig @k.root-servers.net +trace +all +dnssec aol.com MX Certainly, your users would complain if they couldn't send mail to AOL. 8-)
