You might also check out the c-ares lib. "C-ares is an asynchronous resolver library. It is intended for applications which need to perform DNS queries without blocking, or need to perform multiple DNS queries in parallel. The primary examples of such applications are servers which communicate with multiple clients and programs with graphical user interfaces." It's an expansion/fork of the ares lib...the ares author wasn't prepared to accept the changes they deemed necessary to meet the author's requirements. Some of which are: not blocking sockets, being thread friendly, portable, and fast.
