Actually, since RFC-2671, UDP answers can be > 512 octets.
 
the trick would be for the client to perform a DNS query, and if TC flag on the answer ==1, retry the query using TCP.
 
a slightly outdated, but still useful PPT file can be grabbed from http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~hollingd/netprog2001/notes/hw3/hw3.ppt

512 octets. RFC 1035 isn't clear on this, but 1123 discusses it:
