tcp/53 is used for zone-transfers. if you are doing just normal queries udp/53 will suffice.

Here is another reason why tcp/53 is used "A client can use TCP whenever it wants, and has to use TCP when the response it gets via UDP is truncated because it is too long"

tcp/53 is also used for large transfers.
