+o Support for newer DNS Resolving Functions.
+
+ In IPv6 land there are usually the newer DNS resolving functions
+ getaddrinfo(3) and getnameinfo(3). Perhaps we should support these in
+ favor of gethostbyname(3) and gethostbyaddr(3) because the chance is
+ higher that they support IPv6 in case we are in IPv6 land.
+
+o DNS Resolving and multiple results.
+
+ On DNS resolving name, multiple result addresses can be returned. Either
+ because of Round-Robin entries, multi-homed hosts or because of hosts
+ talking both IPv4 and IPv6, etc. Each address has to be tried on
+ socket+connect. What to do? For some hints see:
+ http://www.v6.wide.ad.jp/Presentations/ai3-penang0010-v6programming/mgp00015.html
