# Resolv is a thread-aware DNS resolver library written in Ruby.  Resolv can
# handle multiple DNS requests concurrently without blocking.  The ruby
# interpreter.
#
# See also resolv-replace.rb to replace the libc resolver with # Resolv.
#
# Resolv can look up various DNS resources using the DNS module directly.
#
# Examples:
#
#   p Resolv.getaddress "www.ruby-lang.org"
#   p Resolv.getname "210.251.121.214"
#
#   Resolv::DNS.open do |dns|
#     ress = dns.getresources "www.ruby-lang.org", Resolv::DNS::Resource::IN::A
#     p ress.map { |r| r.address }
#     ress = dns.getresources "ruby-lang.org", Resolv::DNS::Resource::IN::MX
#     p ress.map { |r| [r.exchange.to_s, r.preference] }
#   end
#

# * NIS is not supported.
# * /etc/nsswitch.conf is not supported.
