[dns-operations] DNS query logging (TCP to anycast)

[Simon Munton]

Basically you just hope that you won't get re-directed to a different 
anycast node during the TCP session - and mostly this works fine.

As DNS queries are pretty short, even over TCP, this is generally OK - 
but if you were going to (say) try and run XFR from an anycast node, you 
will be more likely to see issues.

I guess it also may depend on where abouts on the Internet you are and 
how "close" you are to the anycast nodes, and how many nodes there are.

Of course, except for XFR, EDNS0 means TCP should (mostly) be unnecessary :)
