as i said, let's assume we know the protocol.

two $dayjobs are interfering with my trying to schedule the time to
actually measure what i am seeing on my servers. :) there are a fair
number of zones here, including a large cctld with a lot of signage.
so my guess (i.e. no real measurements [0]) is that at least that server
sees a higher tcp ratio than the average bear.,
but if i get those data, are they 'normal?' are they similar to what
others see?

[0] - i confess to being a measurement researcher in one of my real
lives. so i take measurement a bit seriously. but i have not
been measuring dns for a couple of decades.
