Yeah, V6 UDP fragmentation and anycast are bad news.  You can sort of
fix it by doing all your v6 DNSSEC DNS queries over TCP but it's a lot
easier to stick to v4.

Geoff Huston has written about this a lot and it's a well known problem
in the DNS community.  I'm surprised if it's news to anyone here.
