You don't have a choice if you want a decent performance. You just have to cache dns info. I think the best you can do without integrating the whole BIND is to integrate just result interpreter, gethostnamadr.c into your code. So you can get ttl. and then use res_send call to resolver library. Not to mention to blocking behavior of res_send, which can block up to 5-10 seconds... It's just really painful. Anawat
