+ Libdnsres provides a non-blocking thread-safe API for resolving DNS names.
+ It requires that your main application is built on top of libevent.
+ Libdnsres' API essentially mirrors the traditional gethostbyname and
+ getaddrinfo interfaces. All return values have been replaced by callbacks
+ instead. The code borrows heavily from the BSD resolver library. In fact, it
+ is an extremely ugly hack to make the BSD resolver library non-blocking and
+ thread-safe without changing the API too much.
