+Libdnsres provides a non-blocking thread-safe API for resolving DNS names.  It
+requires that your main application is built on top of libevent. Libdnsres' API
+essentially mirrors the traditional gethostbyname and getaddrinfo interfaces. 
+All return values have been replaced by callbacks instead.
+
+The code borrows heavily from the BSD resolver library. In fact, it is an 
+extremely ugly hack to make the BSD resolver library non-blocking and 
+thread-safe without changing the API too much.
