/**
 * \file dns.c
 * \brief Implements a local cache for DNS results for Tor servers.
 * We provide two asynchronous backend implementations:
 *   1) A farm of 'DNS worker' threads or processes to perform DNS lookups for
 *      onion routers and cache the results.
 *   2) A wrapper around Adam Langley's eventdns.c code, to send requests
 *      to the nameservers asynchronously.
 * (We can't just use gethostbyname() and friends because we really need to
 * be nonblocking.)
