The RHEL4 (update 6) boxes I tested this one worked fine without an issue. They truncated (as expected), and switched over to TCP. What update of RHEL4 are you running? And, when you to get the timeout, do you have a tcpdump capturing what nameservers it tried to reach? There might be a nameserver or two in there that isn't accepting TCP requests. The fact it seems to be working for a bunch of people might prove that one otherwise, but you never know. Would there happen to be any firewalls that are blocking 53/TCP, either incoming or outgoing, from certain subnets? Good luck- thanks!
