There are other asynchronous resolvers out there, like libadns, which is a C client library that
acts like a client for the system's DNS resolver. There's also a Windows port, it seems (

Maybe a LUA binding (there are already python bindings for it) could be written, I don't know.

I remember reading the technical paper about dnsd... quite good, Doug.
