>>what is dnstcp? Under Linux I can't resolv the address 141.209.9.74??

DNS can run over TCP (and i think there's a rule for
switching to it when the UDP result was too
long and had to be truncated).

it's invoked by /rc/bin/service/tcp53, typically for zone transfers,
but it's also useful for long series of requests to the same server.
