Is there a way to force the DNS Sensor to use TCP for the request?

Votes:

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 Jim

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

This is not yet possible with the current DNS sensors. If you want this feature to be included in the future, please create a Feature Request.

Kind regards,
