why would you want do do that?

TCP don't suffer from the problem of a faked sourcip and the repsonse
going back to the attacke victim! what do you imagine to happen when
your response data is larger? in case of UDP the fallback is simply TCP
and then you want to cripple that fallback?

[Harshith] But I do not understand why would OPT section required in a TCP 
Query. As i see from my Traces, Even TCP Queries carry a OPT section with the 
advertized sizes the client supports! Why would this be necessary? I do not 
want to cripple the fallback, but if a query is intending to do so from a 
resolver, how Do we stop that?

Thanks

Than you All.

Did not notice I had missed a trailing '.'

Will make sure I do not miss these things the next time I test
