Asynchronous DNS Patch

[doug () hcsw org]

Hello nmap-dev,

Just letting anyone interested know that I'm working on an asychronous reverse DNS patch to improve nmap's performance 
in large scans. I've gotten some good results so far: sometimes as fast as a 30 fold improvement in the DNS portion.

You can download the patch against nmap-3.94ALPHA1 here:

There's unfortunatley some windows bugs. I would be very appreciative if somebody would test my windows binary I have 
available on my site.

Testing on unix platforms would also be appreciative. Keep in mind the patch is still in heavy development and I would 
love to hear your comments!

Doug Hoyte
