+ * \brief Implements a local cache for DNS results for Tor servers.
+ * We provide two asynchrounous backend implementations:
+ * 1) A farm of 'DNS worker' threads or processes to perform DNS lookups for
+ * onion routers and cache the results.
+ * 2) A wrapper around Adam Langley's eventdns.c code, to send requests
+ * to the nameservers asynchronously.
+ * (We can't just use gethostbyname() and friends because we really need to
+ * be nonblocking.)
