Hello Brad,

I have a client who is having issues with DNS and IBM told him to switch his socket programs from using TCP to UDP.

Sounds like some misunderstanding. He can't influence how DNS queries are generated from his application code using system functions to resolve hostnames to IP addresses for socket usage.

Not sure if you can configure IBM i's TCP/IP to influence DNS queries.

:wq! PoC
