Thanks for the illustration of DNS truncation. I wonder why amd.com
feels it's necessary to advertise 22 NR records for their zone. The
root and com zones get along just fine with only 13. And BTW, those
zones/servers exploit a trick with label truncation to fit the 13 NS
records and their associated A records into < 512 bytes so they don't
hand out a truncated response.
