adns is a resolver library for C (and C++) programs. In contrast with
the existing interfaces, gethostbyname et al and libresolv, it has the
following features:
* It is reasonably easy to use for simple programs which just want
to translate names to addresses, look up MX records, etc.
* It can be used in an asynchronous, non-blocking, manner. Many
queries can be handled simultaneously.
Technical note: adns requires a real nameserver like BIND or
Dents running on the same system or a nearby one, which must be
willing to provide `recursive service'. I.e., adns is a `stub
resolver'.

Massive repo-copies request: net->dns (partly devel->dns)
The category "dns" has been added, now is the time to move
the dns-related ports to the new world. Is there anyone who
is brave enough to complete this difficult job? ;)
