Hi all,

	With the availability of BIND 8.2.x, is there any plan of integrating
the newer resolver functions (e.g.: res_nquery as against the deprecated 
res_query) & name resolution through IRS (instead of/in addition to 
/etc/host.conf) into the standard library?

	If this is not considered due to some valid reasons, would it be
possible for me to get those reasons? Any pointers are also welcome.

Thanks,
Muthu
