    Hi Mike,
    this is an extract from Tcp/Ip Illustrated (R. Stevens)
    .....
    When the resolver issues a query and the response comes back with the TC
    bit set ("truncated") it means the size of the response exceeded 512
    bytes, so only the first 512 bytes were returned by the server. The
    resolver normally issues the request again, using TCP. This allows more
    than 512 bytes to be returned. Since TCP breaks up a stream of user data
    into what it calls /segments,/ it can transfer any amount of user data,
    using multiple segments.
    .....
