Right. So there are no way of performing two DNS lookups at the same
time from the same process?

One solution is to serialize the lookups using locks, but that is not a
very good option since a DNS lookup can take several seconds. 

Do I get a fix by linking with BIND8 resolver? (or BIND9? Is BIND8
resolver thread safe?) Is it possible? Won't that clash at link time
with the resolver function available in libc?
