Due to the unresponsive ADNS upstream maintainer, we are evaluating
other options than ADNS.  We have two reasons to use our own resolver:

 - Avoids the use of the Windows API.  However, that can be changed with
   some effort.

 - To enable TOR based DNS.  That currently works only on Windows
   because there we can and need to use a patch version of ADNS :-(.

We actually don't make use of the async features of ADNS.


Shalom-Salam,
