fiaif and DNSSEC

Hello,

I am using fiaif for years now. Recently I slipped into a very difficult
problem. The main registrar for my country, nic.ch, switched to DNSSEC
in September 2009. Since then I was not able anymore to resolve names in
there zone.

After many tests I did find two sources for problems. One is bind itself
which seems to have problems with that big packages.

The other is fiaif which forbids fragmented UDP packages. (I finally
found a note about that on the web page of debian but not in the
documentation of fiaif.) As the package of the nic.ch zone is much more
big than all other zones which uses dnssec that one will not fit into
the package size of 1480 Bytes (MTU 1500) so I cannot resolve it
anymore.

By the way, I searched where this limitation is done in iptables but
didn't success. There is no such rule in the iptables however I find one
rule about fragmentation in the sanity_check.sh: "IPTABLES -t ${TABLE}
- -A ${QUEUE} -p icmp --fragment -j LOG_DROP" But that is not relevant for
DNS.

Is there any way to allow fragmented UDP packages at all or, better, for
DNSSEC only?

Regards
   Klaus
