[Pydns-developer] Truncated packet handling

[Bastian K. <ref...@we...>]

Hi,

a djbdns user stumbled recently over a truncated UDP packet.
I read the blurb from Dan Bernstein's djbdns about truncated packets at
http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/notes.html

WebCleaner is using a fallback-to-tcp mechanism for DNS lookups when
the udp packet is truncated.
I think it would be interesting for pydns to have the same feature.
You can look at wc/proxy/dns_lookup.py at webcleaner.sf.net for the
source.

Greetings, Bastian
