So you got a truncated response and used -t, it didn't help, and drill
printed the boilerplate warning message that it always prints when it
gets a truncated response.  I don't know about you, but I would call
that a cosmetic nit.

Unless, of course, you had tcpdump running while you did this and it
turns out that drill sent a UDP request in spite of -t?  It works fine
(i.e. it uses UDP by default, and TCP when asked to) for me.

I even tried the same nameserver you used, and was very surprised to get
an answer.  If you know the people who run it, you might let them know
that it is inadvisable to process recursive queries from outside their
own network.

FWIW, the reply I got was not truncated.  Perhaps there is a transparent
DNS proxy somewhere between you and 178.250.72.130 - quite common with
broadband CPE.
