Hi list,

I've stumbled upon c-ares (http://daniel.haxx.se/projects/c-ares/) as a 
possible replacement for ADNS, which we currently have as async DNS resolver 
library.
Pro's: Still being developed, IPv6 support, multi-platform, MIT license.
Con's: May suffer from same memory allocation issues on Win32 as does ADNS.

Does anyone have further insights into the use of this library?
    

It looks interesting. The fact that it's documented and actively developed is
encouraging.

It also has some Freexxx() functions that seem to handle freeing allocations that the lib makes.

>From the web site, they also have a link to other similar libs, Poslib (http://posadis.sourceforge.net/) and UDNS (http://www.corpit.ru/mjt/udns.html) look interesting.
