Comment (by jinmei):

 I've taken a closer look at it, but, unfortunately, I guess I have to
 say we cannot benefit from the patch: As far as I can see the current
 resolver implementation doesn't use the configured root server
 addresses at all.

 We could fix it, but that's certainly beyond the scope of this
 "very easy" task.  Besides, it's more likely we'll reimplement the
 entire resolver from the scratch, so the fix will be a waste anyway.

 So, while I feel guilty to say something like this for a contributed
 patch, I suggest closing the ticket with "wontfix".
