We're using c-ares since 1.3.0 or so, at that time there didn't seem to be
any function who gave us any details about nameservers, timeouts, etc, which
was - in our eyes - potentially useful information.
We therefore added a simple patch, and patched every release.
I never submitted it, because it wasn't exactly a clean patch, and never got
around creating a proper one ;).
Feel free to submit a patch to UnrealIRCd to use this 'new' method. Provided
that this method is the way to go, and is here to stay, and is not
noticeably slower than the original patch.
Regards,
Bram.
