Description: #
From libfiredns(3): "libfiredns is a library for handling asynchronous DNS requests. It provides a very simple interface for sending requests and parsing reponses, as well as low-timeout blocking functions. It can also be compiled to override the BIND/LIBC functions with its alternative implementations. libfiredns functions have much lower timeouts than the stock functions and tend to be faster because they send requests to all configured system nameservers at the same time."

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? ;)
