How would we get at that data without writing our own DNS client?
(AFAIK, our existing DNS interactions are all handled by getnameinfo()
or other library-supplied functions.)
Maybe that'd be worth doing, but it sounds like a lot of work and a
lot of new code to maintain, relative to the value of the feature.
