I think the cancellation issue should not be ignored. Doing this as thread is not really an option if we cannot cancel this properly after a timeout. I don't see why an out-of-process logic would be that hard... It could be implemented in a pretty minimalistic way: create an AF_UNIX/SOCK_SEQPACKET socket before forking, leave one end of it in the daemon, and pass the other end to all the worker processes. Then, when there's an URL to look up, just write it in one datagram into the socket from the daemon side, and wait for one reply on it. Make all worker threads read() from the other side (the same socket in all of them), and the kernel will then deliver it to an idle worker thread and all is good.
