    Dns and udp
    The DNS uses protocol UDP.
    The packets of UDP have biggest size (many times) until 576 bytes.
    What's going on if a DNS name that it is sought does exceed this size?
    It can be sent in two packets?

    I'm unsure exactly what your issue is. The maximum length of a fully qualified domain name is 255 characters (octets) by RFC 1035.
