I pushed the commit 148c8e0353d93d7c0 now.

Unfortunately not. Ideally I would like a small and basic [DNS] server to rip
apart and write a simple test server with and then have test cases that can
specify how to respond, good or bad, and then write up a bunch of tests.

Of course, lots of functions such as the ares_parse_*_reply() ones can be
tested with fixed buffers sent to them and just checking that they return the
correct output.

I will greatly appreciate whatever anyone can help us with in this regard (as
well).
