Amusingly when I was trying this to see how long it is I found a bug in
iOS dig :-)

$ dig +noall +comment information.uzmzudseodc2fjpyi6mjcxndiymtuzmzufazdseyi6swh58fmodc2fjqxoc2fjp.com
;; Got answer:

$ dig +noall +comment information.uzmzudseodc2fjpyi6mjcxndiymtuzmzufazdseyi6swh58fmodc2fjqxoc2fjpx.com
dig: 'information.uzmzudseodc2fjpyi6mjcxndiymtuzmzufazdseyi6swh58fmodc2fjqxoc2fjpx.com' is not a legal name (label too long)
