I would prefer a new callback since the current callback as you say is used
for the response (or lack of response).

And if you do add a new callback, keep in mind that we don't want to break the
ABI so you should probably add that with a new ares_set_* function.

What about resolves that are done by the use of /etc/hosts etc? Will they call
the callback too?
