I think this would need to be done as a drop-in replacement for getaddrinfo and similar that actually goes off and sends requests to multiple DNS servers, listens for responses, and returns once it gets a first reply. One issue is that depending on how this is implemented, it would either end up creating a separate socket on each DNS request to send requests and wait for responses, or require a separate thread that would manage all requests/responses -- both of which are their own form of overhead. _______________________________________________ dev-tech-network mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-network
