I will use 1.6.4 as soon as permitted :-)

But if the reply will not fit in 3072 bytes, then will unbound not
then need to use TCP?  And if there are a very large number of
responses required, could that not cause the TCP ports to run out if
they cannot easily be reused?

This problem arises on our resolvers, which are separate from the
caches; the caches forward to the resolvers.
