Thanks for pointing that out, Ori. I didn't know about dns-over-tcp;
I never had to do a request that required it, apparently.  That would
entail modifying ndb/dns*, yeah?

My other major use case is ping.  I see that there is such a thing as
ping-over-tcp.  I suppose one of the use cases for providing
ping-over-tcp is seeing if packet-shaping is having an impact on a
connection.  That would suggest to me that ip/ping would be modified,
or just a separate utility.
