Hi Fyodor, all,

another idea, that we didn't mention during the meeting is to make
nmap (possibly nsock) able to do parallel and non-blocking name
resolution. This would be useful for proxy support and for the general
throughput of nmap during large-scale scans. I plan to eventually work
on it, but I can imagine that it could be a nice topic for a GSoC.

There's a little entry about it on the wiki[1]. Note that I'm still
unsure whether this would fit best in nsock or nmap.
