Write a patch. DJB's DNS library is not plug-compatible with the
standard resolver library. Code will need to be rewritten.
Of course, not much Bernstein's written is compatible with anything
else, anyway... :-)
Amen. Much as I like some of DJB's tools, his coding style and disregard
for any kind of API compatibility can be a real pain in the ....
I actually did look at his resolver library for Hobbit, but gave up
trying to work out exactly how it should be used. Then I found the
c-ares library and never looked back.
I do use his DNS daemons on my servers, but it's kind of "black-box"
code - as long as it does what it should, I don't care *how* it does it.
