What I don't understand is: the FORMERR response is a normal UDP packet, ok?
What could filter this packet?

My server gets responses with EDNS from some NS in Internet, with UDP 
packet > 512 bytes,
e.g: "dig @a.dns.br br dnskey +dnssec +bufsize=2500"
So it's not firewall problem, Am I correct ?

 From my server, dig to Akamai with EDNS (+bufsize=512) doesn't get 
FORMERR message, dig return "connection timed out; no servers could be 
reached".
What could be the reason ?

Thanks for your reply.
