| You might want to grab the latest BIND release from ftp.isc.org.  One
| of the comments in the CHANGES file from a while ago is:
| 
|  384.   [feature]       there is now a nearly-thread-safe resolver API, with
|                         the old non-thread-safe API being a set of stubs on
|                         top of this.  it is possible to program without _res.
|                         note: the documentation has not been updated.  also
|                         note: IRS is a thread-ready API, get*by*() is not.
|                         (see ../contrib/manyhosts for an example application.)
| 
| There's no sense re-inventing any more wheels than necessary.

Great!  This makes my job even easier!

Does anyone have any issues with merging the new bind resolver API into 
libc?
