51/** @file event2/dns.h
52 *
53 * Welcome, gentle reader
54 *
55 * Async DNS lookups are really a whole lot harder than they should be,
56 * mostly stemming from the fact that the libc resolver has never been
57 * very good at them. Before you use this library you should see if libc
58 * can do the job for you with the modern async call getaddrinfo_a
59 * (see http://www.imperialviolet.org/page25.html#e498). Otherwise,
60 * please continue.
61 *
62 * The library keeps track of the state of nameservers and will avoid
63 * them when they go down. Otherwise it will round robin between them.
64 *
65 * Quick start guide:
66 *   #include "evdns.h"
67 *   void callback(int result, char type, int count, int ttl,
68 *		 void *addresses, void *arg);
69 *   evdns_resolv_conf_parse(DNS_OPTIONS_ALL, "/etc/resolv.conf");
70 *   evdns_resolve("www.hostname.com", 0, callback, NULL);
71 *
72 * When the lookup is complete the callback function is called. The
73 * first argument will be one of the DNS_ERR_* defines in evdns.h.
74 * Hopefully it will be DNS_ERR_NONE, in which case type will be
75 * DNS_IPv4_A, count will be the number of IP addresses, ttl is the time
76 * which the data can be cached for (in seconds), addresses will point
77 * to an array of uint32_t's and arg will be whatever you passed to
78 * evdns_resolve.
79 *
80 * Searching:
81 *
82 * In order for this library to be a good replacement for glibc's resolver it
83 * supports searching. This involves setting a list of default domains, in
84 * which names will be queried for. The number of dots in the query name
85 * determines the order in which this list is used.
86 *
87 * Searching appears to be a single lookup from the point of view of the API,
88 * although many DNS queries may be generated from a single call to
89 * evdns_resolve. Searching can also drastically slow down the resolution
90 * of names.
91 *
92 * To disable searching:
93 *   1. Never set it up. If you never call evdns_resolv_conf_parse or
94 *   evdns_search_add then no searching will occur.
95 *
96 *   2. If you do call evdns_resolv_conf_parse then don't pass
97 *   DNS_OPTION_SEARCH (or DNS_OPTIONS_ALL, which implies it).
98 *
99 *   3. When calling evdns_resolve, pass the DNS_QUERY_NO_SEARCH flag.
100 *
101 * The order of searches depends on the number of dots in the name. If the
102 * number is greater than the ndots setting then the names is first tried
103 * globally. Otherwise each search domain is appended in turn.
104 *
105 * The ndots setting can either be set from a resolv.conf, or by calling
106 * evdns_search_ndots_set.
107 *
108 * For example, with ndots set to 1 (the default) and a search domain list of
109 * ["myhome.net"]:
110 *  Query: www
111 *  Order: www.myhome.net, www.
112 *
113 *  Query: www.abc
114 *  Order: www.abc., www.abc.myhome.net
115 *
116 * Internals:
117 *
118 * Requests are kept in two queues. The first is the inflight queue. In
119 * this queue requests have an allocated transaction id and nameserver.
120 * They will soon be transmitted if they haven't already been.
121 *
122 * The second is the waiting queue. The size of the inflight ring is
123 * limited and all other requests wait in waiting queue for space. This
124 * bounds the number of concurrent requests so that we don't flood the
125 * nameserver. Several algorithms require a full walk of the inflight
126 * queue and so bounding its size keeps thing going nicely under huge
127 * (many thousands of requests) loads.
128 *
129 * If a nameserver loses too many requests it is considered down and we
130 * try not to use it. After a while we send a probe to that nameserver
131 * (a lookup for google.com) and, if it replies, we consider it working
132 * again. If the nameserver fails a probe we wait longer to try again
133 * with the next probe.
