this was throwaway code.  i didn't think very hard about that number.
ndb does have a maximum value length of 64 bytes.

; g -i max /sys/src/cmd/ndb/dns.h:
dns.h:68: 	Domlen=		256,	/* max domain name length (with NULL) */

room for the terminating null.

as pointed out, this doesn't quite work. you have to reverse the dots yourself and add in-addr.arpa.
the code is in /sys/src/cmd/ndb/dnsquery.c
