I don't know for sure whether or not the DNS protocol allows for more than one query/response over a single TCP session, but bind9 seems to be designed that way.

It is allowed. We are allowed to close inactive TCP sessions, but considering it
inactive after a single query is probably using the lawyer approach (bend it
until it breaks) on the specs (meaning, we shouldn't do it, but if we chose the
right wording, it could be allowed).

Anyway, sharing the same TCP connection between auth and xfrout could be another
reason for the receptionist approach (the one that does the answering itself,
and there's a single TCP connection to each of the answering processes).

With regards

if you do not close it in the meantime.
