Whenever a dns response exceeds the magic XXX byte size (forgot the exact
number) the udp query is dropped and retried over tcp, that's what you are
seeing. Easy to guess that this slows down things and is totally bogus as
there is no real reason for a dns response to be bigger than these X bytes.
the big-dns patch enables qmail to use these oversized dns packtes, but
hotmail's setup is stupid.
