I also ran across this patch which may be useful when not using select() or poll() to monitor the file descriptors, but rather epoll() in EPOLLET mode (Edge Triggered), or using FreeBSD kqueue()'s which are always edge triggered: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.dns.c-ares/965
I haven't yet attempted to try the patch myself, but probably will in the next week or two as I'm in the process of integrating c-ares into an epoll() and kqueue() event based system.
It seems it needs to be rebased to apply on the current code, but I would love to get some feedback on how it actually performs!
And an advice to anyone who wants to push for a patch to get merged into c-ares master: don't just throw it in here and vanish. Please stick around and argue for the inclusion and do remind us if we haven't seemed to responded to an issue for a while. We're just a little slow at times and if nobody seems to really want a patch, there's no harm in us dropping it...
