OK, so that works in a limited sense. It finds the actual DNS query
response for the name in question but does not find the other
responses for the query on _kerberos._UDP.<realm>
It's there in the responses, but not found for some reason. The
response is also a re-assembled response because there is some 12942
bytes in it.
