+          The default configuration is currently not appropriate for a multi-homed host.
+          In case you have multiple public IP addresses, it is possible the
+          query UDP packet comes through one interface and the answer goes out
+          through another. The answer will probably be dropped by the client, as it
+          has a different source address than the one it sent the query to. The
+          client would fallback on TCP after several attempts, which works
+          well in this situation, but is clearly not ideal.

+          There are plans to solve the problem such that the server handles
+          it by itself. But until it is actually implemented, it is recommended to
+          alter the configuration &mdash; remove the wildcard addresses and list all
+          addresses explicitly. Then the server will answer on the same
+          interface the request came on, preserving the correct address.
