Essentially, this was the fix. With the help of some fellow engineers
at work, we isolated it to being that (most likely) the event handler,
the fileevent stuff, was being registered after the response had been
received and placed on the socket by the kernel. I was getting my data
(from the udp transaction) when doing a dns query using tcp because of
the overhead involved with tcp transactions. My fix looks something
like this:

# start script and source libs, load packages tcllib and tcludp

set u_tok [dns::resolve hp.com]

vwait $u_tok

Thanks.
