force nameserver(bind) information exchanges with clients via tcp only

[Fred Morris]

I should be clearer about this. The media devices send a lot of traffic. 
They manipulate the wifi landscape in proprietary (remember the TCP 
throughput wars 20+ years ago?) or at least unexpected ways.

Stupid wifi access point follows "conventional wisdom" and drops UDP 
traffic. Doesn't bother the media devices, but 1980s stub resolver logic 
isn't up to competing with 100,000:1 packet contention and doesn't provide 
any way to do traffic shaping.
