Started exploring c-ares library api and have following questions
1. Once the application creates a channel using *ares_init_options()*,
can this same channel be used to fire off multiple concurrent lookups using
*ares_gethostbyname()*?
2. Suppose the application has an infinite loop, during which it creates
a channel and does multiple lookups. But does not destroy the channel
because the intent is to use the channel again sometime later. Then it is
observed that the callback is called continuously for the previous lookup.
Is this behaviour intentional? In this case how can the application make
use of the same channel because the intent is to use the ARES_FLAG_STAYOPEN
flag and keep the connection alive.
Thanks in advance.
