+/** @file event2/dns.h
+ *
+ * Welcome, gentle reader
+ *
+ * Async DNS lookups are really a whole lot harder than they should be,
+ * mostly stemming from the fact that the libc resolver has never been
+ * very good at them. Before you use this library you should see if libc
+ * can do the job for you with the modern async call getaddrinfo_a
+ * (see http://www.imperialviolet.org/page25.html#e498). Otherwise,
+ * please continue.
+ *
+ * The library keeps track of the state of nameservers and will avoid
+ * them when they go down. Otherwise it will round robin between them.
+ *
+ * Quick start guide:
+ * #include "evdns.h"
+ * void callback(int result, char type, int count, int ttl,
+ * void *addresses, void *arg);
+ * evdns_resolv_conf_parse(DNS_OPTIONS_ALL, "/etc/resolv.conf");
+ * evdns_resolve("www.hostname.com", 0, callback, NULL);
+ *
+ * When the lookup is complete the callback function is called. The
+ * first argument will be one of the DNS_ERR_* defines in evdns.h.
+ * Hopefully it will be DNS_ERR_NONE, in which case type will be
+ * DNS_IPv4_A, count will be the number of IP addresses, ttl is the time
+ * which the data can be cached for (in seconds), addresses will point
+ * to an array of uint32_t's and arg will be whatever you passed to
+ * evdns_resolve.
+ *
+ * Searching:
+ *
+ * In order for this library to be a good replacement for glibc's resolver it
+ * supports searching. This involves setting a list of default domains, in
+ * which names will be queried for. The number of dots in the query name
+ * determines the order in which this list is used.
+ *
+ * Searching appears to be a single lookup from the point of view of the API,
+ * although many DNS queries may be generated from a single call to
+ * evdns_resolve. Searching can also drastically slow down the resolution
+ * of names.
+ *
+ * To disable searching:
+ * 1. Never set it up. If you never call evdns_resolv_conf_parse or
+ * evdns_search_add then no searching will occur.
+ *
+ * 2. If you do call evdns_resolv_conf_parse then don't pass
+ * DNS_OPTION_SEARCH (or DNS_OPTIONS_ALL, which implies it).
+ *
+ * 3. When calling evdns_resolve, pass the DNS_QUERY_NO_SEARCH flag.
+ *
+ * The order of searches depends on the number of dots in the name. If the
+ * number is greater than the ndots setting then the names is first tried
+ * globally. Otherwise each search domain is appended in turn.
+ *
+ * The ndots setting can either be set from a resolv.conf, or by calling
+ * evdns_search_ndots_set.
+ *
+ * For example, with ndots set to 1 (the default) and a search domain list of
+ * ["myhome.net"]:
+ * Query: www
+ * Order: www.myhome.net, www.
+ *
+ * Query: www.abc
+ * Order: www.abc., www.abc.myhome.net
+ *
+ * Internals:
+ *
+ * Requests are kept in two queues. The first is the inflight queue. In
+ * this queue requests have an allocated transaction id and nameserver.
+ * They will soon be transmitted if they haven't already been.
+ *
+ * The second is the waiting queue. The size of the inflight ring is
+ * limited and all other requests wait in waiting queue for space. This
+ * bounds the number of concurrent requests so that we don't flood the
+ * nameserver. Several algorithms require a full walk of the inflight
+ * queue and so bounding its size keeps thing going nicely under huge
+ * (many thousands of requests) loads.
+ *
+ * If a nameserver loses too many requests it is considered down and we
+ * try not to use it. After a while we send a probe to that nameserver
+ * (a lookup for google.com) and, if it replies, we consider it working
+ * again. If the nameserver fails a probe we wait longer to try again
+ * with the next probe.
