Additionally you may as well just implement EDNS.  The IPv6 response
won't be fragmented as it is < 1280 bytes and the IPv4 response is
unlikely to be fragmented as it is < 1500 bytes.  If you are making
DNS queries over IPv6 you are already required to support EDNS as
it is a node requirement.

All the root servers support EDNS as that is a prerequisite for
DNSSEC and if the firewall in front of your recursive server doesn't
it needs to be replaced if it can't support a 15 year old extension
to the protocol.
