Title:
  systemd-resolved has issues when the answer is over 512 bytes with
  EDNS disabled

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in systemd source package in Disco:
  New

Bug description:
  Querying a domain name that has >512 bytes in records (e.g. 30+ A
  records), the number of results depends on the DNS client used:

  - If the client supports EDNS:

  $ dig +noall +answer testing.irongiantdesign.com @127.0.0.53 | wc -l
  30 

  - If the client does not support EDNS:

  $ dig +noedns +noall +answer testing.irongiantdesign.com @127.0.0.53 | wc -l
  29

  Normally a client that doesn't support EDNS would receive a truncated
  reply from the initial UDP connection (limited by the spec to 512
  bytes) and a second query would be established via TCP to receive the
  complete results. In this case, the number of results is the same
  regardless of the protocol used (29).
