I want to use lwresd and the resolver lib of bind-9.1.2 to get AAAA record
of a host from a ruinning DNS server (bind 9.1.2). 

I use gethostbyname2 (glibc 2.1, Linux) in my program.

/etc/resolv.conf:
-- -- --
lwserver 127.0.0.1 921
order=hosts,bind
nameserver 3ffe:2700:70:1::2
-- -- --

The lwresd is up and running, my config file:
-- -- --
options {
     directory "/etc/bind";
     pid-file "/var/run/lwres.pid";
     allow-query { any; };// This is the default
     allow-recursion { any; };
     recursion yes;// Do not provide recursive service
     listen-on-v6 port 921 { any; };
     listen-on port 921 { 127.0.0.1; };
     query-source-v6 address 3ffe:2700:70:1::5 port *;
     forwarders { 3ffe:2700:70:1::2; }; // this is a working 9.1.2
};

logging {
        channel query {
                file "/var/log/bind/query.lwres.log";
        };
};
                                
// Root server hints
zone "." { type hint; file "root.hint"; };
-- -- --

Bind 9.1.2 provides the following libs: libdns.so, libisc.so, liblwres.so
and libomapi.so. What is the proper lib that makes the DNS query to the
server? What do I have to link to my program? 

Thanks,
