DNS is designed that you can fall back from UDP to TCP if the response is too big tosend in a UDP packet, but your router seems to not provide the fallback TCP service. This is sadly a common mis-design, but usually doesn't cause a huge problem since most DNS responses fit into a UDP packet. The A fallback will point you at the closest portsnap mirror, but you won't get the fail-over behaviour where portsnap will switch mirrors if the first one isn't responding. -- Colin Percival Security Officer, FreeBSD | freebsd.org | The power to serve Founder / author, Tarsnap | tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
