b) Get some async DNS library from somewhere.
I have been looking for that as well recenly, and I stumbled upon the unbound library, part of the unbound project.
I know there are a few of them, but I'd prefer to use the system's own resolver. A few reasons that I can think of:
- do external dns resolver libraries support /etc/hosts?
- or are there some other site-specific features? dnssec, etc.?
- DNS has had security problems recently. Upgrading OS's own resolver is easier than upgrading all software that have their internal resolvers.
