That's not possible, because firewall only permits DNS querys over UDP ...

No, but firewalls have a mtu configured with 1450 on external interfaces ...

  And if you do need a small MTU, do you have firewalls

Yes, ICMP messages are blocked on firewall, but are blocked for all hosts: 
centos dns servers, ubuntu servers, windows servers ... i don't understand why 
using Ubuntu or windows servers to resolve names works ok and with centos (and
