Comment on DNS Resolution: A Primerparent

Comments

Chrome's resolver is a stub resolver - it is just a replacement for getaddrinfo(). It does what getaddrinfo() does but asynchronously.

That means the parent's comment is irrelevant in the context of what the article is discussing.

As for getaddrinfo, Links, a text-based browser which preceded Chrome by many years, also has one. Links allows the user to turn asynchronous DNS resolution off. Does Chrome?
