/* Immediately reject names that are longer than the maximum of 255
* bytes that's specified in RFC 1035 ("To simplify implementations,
* the total length of a domain name (i.e., label octets and label
* length octets) is restricted to 255 octets or less."). We aren't
* doing this just to be a stickler about RFCs. For names that are
* too long, 'dnscache' closes its TCP connection to us immediately
* (when using TCP) and ignores the request when using UDP, and
* BIND's named returns ServFail (TCP or UDP). Sending a request
* that we know will cause 'dnscache' to close the TCP connection is
* painful, since that makes any other outstanding requests on that
* connection fail. And sending a UDP request that we know
* 'dnscache' will ignore is bad because resources will be tied up
* until we time-out the request.
