By the way the netresolve project[1] which can work on top of c-ares (libunbound is currently the default but subject to change at any time) offers getaddrinfo and getnameinfo functions. I found out some issues with the current APIs in c-ares, so if you would like to add stuff like that, please contact me so I can share the experience gained so far.
