	man 3 resolver.

>     - Our application links to bind resolver library to process DNS calls
>     - The bind library contacts the local lwresd, which gets the info from 
>     the DNS (our nameservers, which run Bind 9.5)
>     - The bind library passes the result back to the application

> You might consider using the NLnet Labs lib dns library. See
