<p>If the UDP query returns TC=1 DiG retries with TCP. I want to see
the UDP results and am unable to. Specifying +notcp makes no
difference. The correct option is +ignore:</p>

<p>The "tell" is that on the footer SERVER line it reports the
protocol. Note that in the first case it's TCP, even though +notcp
was specified. (The MSG SIZE is also a clue.)<br>

<p>Searching the intertubes wasn't much help. When I tried to search
the list archives I got a Gateway Timeout. :-( Anyway, it's been a
minor personal annoyance for a while; hopefully this helps
somebody else with a problem they didn't know they had.</p>
