I don't know about you, but I would call that a cosmetic nit. Unless, of course, you had tcpdump running while you did this and it turns out that drill sent a UDP request in spite of -t? It works fine (i.e. it uses UDP by default, and TCP when asked to) for me. I even tried the same nameserver you used, and was very surprised to get an answer. If you know the people who run it, you might let them know that it is inadvisable to process recursive queries from outside their own network. FWIW, the reply I got was not truncated. Perhaps there is a transparent DNS proxy somewhere between you and 178.250.72.130 - quite common with broadband CPE. DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
