Indeed, I thought that went without saying.

I specifically wanted to use a library for this because spawning dig is 
inefficient, which makes a big difference when you are looking up a few 
million records :-) Also, dig has the nasty habit of stalling when it 
gets stuck trying to locate the dns name. Although you can specify 
+tries=1 and +timeout=1, it still blocks whilst resolving the A/AAAA 
address of the target dns name (for example, if the target is 
ns1.something.example.com., and the two dns servers for 
something.example.com. are unavailable, it will hang for a lot longer 
than 2 seconds).

I have looked at several libraries for this, and so far none have met 
all my needs (multiple target servers, IPv6, chaos and asynchronous), 
and from your reply I can only infer that Unbound will not be suitable 
either :-( Back to the drawing board! Thanks for your replies.

Regards,

Chris
