DNS over TCP already supports out-of-order responses. The reason it has
historically not performed very well is that server implementations have
handled queries on a TCP connection serially rather than concurrently.

But this is improving. BIND 9.11 (for example) supports concurrent queries
with out-of-order responses over TCP and TCP fast open, so queries over
TCP should perform well, and better than UDP for large responses.
