Actually, it is both....if you are going to be doing zone transfers that is.
Actually, it can also use TCP if it's unable to trim the response to fit in a 512 octet UDP datagram. This can happen with large responses, i.e., Akamai or Yahoo hosts that have multiple entries per A record. This is also necessary to support A6 and DNSSEC.

Good point. In the back of my mind I knew there was more need/reason for TCP. Just too early on a Monday morning to think. :-) Shame on me.
