How is that handled in tor?

I remember having worked on this a long long time ago. As far as I remember properly, the CTor implementation does not use libc for resolving names, but rather libevent, in order to resolve them asynchronously. There were some caveats wrt to resolvers outlined in the libevent documentation, maybe it is worth looking into that? Thank You Clara
