[MaraDNS list] TCP

[Nicholas Bamber]

Sam,
	I have been experimenting with TCP connections this morning. What I
have found so far is as follows:

1.) fetchzone works for me.

2.) The only way of forcing a TCP connection I can find is to use the
+tcp option in dig.

3.) Asking for AXFR and IXFR records via dig seems to work but does not
deliver useful information.

4.) Running 'dig hostname @server +tcp' works against a bind server but
against the maradns zonserver seems to generate a seg fault. I will put
the full output at the end.

5.) Since askmara apparently does not have a +tcp option I am guessing
that this is what you are expecting. However it was not what I was
expecting given the documentation.
