We recently upgraded from Recursor 4.2.1 to 4.3.1, due to the recent security alert. Unfortunately, after this upgrade some queries have stopped working.
The examples below are from a test installation where the only config are the following two lines: query-local-address=193.75.4.60 trace=on Example of query which works with 4.2.1: % dig microsoft-my.sharepoint-df.com @127.0.0.1 ; <<>> DiG 9.16.3 <<>> microsoft-my.sharepoint-df.com @127.0.0.1 ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 19220 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 8, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 512 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;microsoft-my.sharepoint-df.com.

Any suggestions? Bug report to Github? This is unfortunately serious enough for our users that I may have downgrade to 4.2.1.
