Clusters in stable environments who use `allow_stale` should see a more even distribution of query load across all of their Consul servers. [GH-1743] +* Consul agents can now limit the number of UDP answers returned via the DNS + interface. The default number of UDP answers is `3`, however by adjusting + the `dns_config.udp_answer_limit` configuration parameter, it is now + possible to limit the results down to `1`. This tunable provides + environments where RFC3484 section 6, rule 9 is enforced with an important + workaround in order to preserve the desired behavior of randomized DNS + results. Most modern environments will not need to adjust this setting as + this RFC was made obsolete by RFC 6724. See the + [agent options](https://www.consul.io/docs/agent/options.html#udp_answer_limit) + documentation for additional details for when this should be + used. [GH-1712] ## 0.6.4 (March 16, 2016)
