 I agree that this PR should be closed, there is not much that can be done with 
 respect to this. Hopefully we will have thread-safe gethostbyXXX() in 5.x 
 someday, but 4.x is hopeless - gethostbyXXX() are not thread-safe, there are 
 no gethostbyXXX_r() and getaddrinfo() is serialized internally, so much for 
 parallel DNS lookups.
