Hi,

"setsockopt(TCP_MAXSEG, 1220)" will help if it is PMTUD or fragmentation
issue.

IMHO DNS responder should always do "setsockopt(TCP_MAXSEG, 1220)"
for all TCP sockets (or implement an option to setting MAXSEG size) to avoid
PMTUD/IP frags because:
 * PMTUD process may add more delay even if it worked properly.
 * ICMP TooBig (for PMTUD) or IP frags are often dropped at broken
firewalls.

Regards,
