-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----


About a year ago, I posted a message, 
      Message-ID: <24773.1063942873 at marajade.sandelman.ottawa.on.ca>

It went:

>Hi, I have been working on an asynchronous patch to -llwres.
>We are using this in the experimental (DNSSEC-aware) branch of FreeSWAN.
>(USE_LWRES=true in the top-level Makefile.inc). The 2.03 release, coming
>soon, has the async version.

>Our mechanism is that we send all DNS requests down a pipe to a program,
>"lwdnsq" and get responses back asynchronously. The interface is ASCII,
>and can also be used interactively.

>The patch is at http://www.sandelman.ca/tmp/lwres.patch
>The patch is slightly edited diff output - I would up with lots of 
>$Id$ differences, which are annoying.

I don't recall getting any feedback.

We (Xelerance/Openswan) continue to use this code for speaking to bind9.
