Hi All,
Does 'c-ares' support mDNS queries?I used 'ares_gethostbyname' to resolve a host name to IP addresses within small networks that do not include a local name server.
'ares_gethostbyname' fails, but 'getaddrinfo' succeeds.
After analyzing the ethereal capture, we observed that 'getaddrinfo' succeded because it sent mDNS requests.Is there any way to configure 'ares_gethostbyname' to initiate the mDNS requests?
Regards,Vinay
