- Henrik Stoerner: found out that C-ARES does not look at the /etc/host.conf
file to determine the sequence in which to search /etc/hosts and DNS. So on
systems where this order is defined by /etc/host.conf instead of a "lookup"
entry in /etc/resolv.conf, C-ARES will always default to looking in DNS
first, and /etc/hosts second.
c-ares now looks at
1) resolv.conf (for the "lookup" line);
2) nsswitch.fon (for the "hosts:" line);
3) host.conf (for the "order" line).
First match wins.
