With the announced DNS Flag Day on the 1st October 2020 (https://dnsflagday.net/2020/) I was wondering if there was a way the DNS sensor could be forced to use TCP for its request so the UDP to TCP switch could be tested?
I do not see any specific setting for either the v1 or v2 DNS sensor to tell it to use TCP.
Cheers
