Title:
  Resolving DNS entry, answer too big to handle

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  On an Ubuntu 17.04, I can't resolve the DNS name www.ziggogo.tv.

  If I use the command ping www.ziggogo.tv, I get the error:
  ping: www.ziggogo.tv: Temporary failure in name resolution

  If I use the command ping -6 www.ziggogo.tv or ping -4 www.ziggogo.tv
  both works fine.

  After doing some testen with test-size.masterpe.nl, when the hostname
  has 12 A records and 13 AAAA records. I can ping the hostname. If I
  add one extra record so the total lines become 26. The resolving
  failles.

  After discussing on https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
  users/2017-December/292951.html it is probably a bug.

  After doing some analyst on https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
  users/2017-December/292964.html. Everything looks OK.

  Kind regards
