Hi,
True, but the DNS resolver is based on the event loop library it's part of. So
this would have to be used as our event loop as well. Which will bring us in
conflict with the GTK event loop I guess.
Thanx,

Hi,
there is also libevent which is portable, maintained and seems
well-documented :-)

Hi,
Looking at the suggestions I see this:
Poslib seems to have been developed until 2005, similar problem as
ADNS. It's
a C++ lib as well, causing a binding problem.
UDNS looks interesting as well. As it's conceptual model is further
from ADNS
than c-ares is it might take more work to get it interfaced. Another
thing not
apparent is the cross platform support. There is mention of a Win32
port, but
that is stated to be out of date.
Thanx,
Jaap
