- Carlo Contavalli added support for the glibc "rotate" option, as documented

  in man resolv.conf:

  causes round robin selection of nameservers from among those listed.  This
  has the effect of spreading the query load among all listed servers, rather
  than having all clients try the first listed server first every time.

  You can enable it with ARES_OPT_ROTATE
