----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 We should overload the res_n* functions on systems that support them.
 Currently we catch res_query and it's family, but not the newer res_n*
 set. They've been around for a while now, there are likely programs that
 could be trying to perform dns resolution using udp and failing.
