The claims about firewall issues seems dubious to me.  It's certainly
not the 512 byte limit which is a problem here---I think we've got
pretty good empiric evidence that it's not a problem anymore.  Several
root responses are already larger than 512 bytes, and you can't send
mail to AOL or Yahoo if you're behind a firewall that swallows
responses larger than 512 bytes.  People tend to fix such things,
especially if the Internet is a new thing to them and they want to
communicate with each other, instead of merely being right and
protocol compliant.
