DNS over TCP is intentionally not supported in musl because of how bad
the performance is, among other reasons. For cases like yours where
it's needed, you would get much better results by running a caching
dns proxy (using TCP for outbound requests) on localhost and pointing
resolv.conf at that.
(You may also be able to get good results by configuring the retry
interval very low to make up for their servers dropping requests, but
that might not be polite.)
