tcpdump -v shows bad udp checksum in the loopback interface. But I'm not sure if the packets is discarded or the error is ignored. ponti:~# tcpdump -i lo -n -v ponti:~# dig @192.168.0.3 gallimedina.net 13:02:12.360728 192.168.0.3.32827 > 192.168.0.3.53: [bad udp cksum 5e6d!] 35220+ A? gallimedina.net.
