#
#  A super module on top of the dns module for host name resolution.
#  There are two services provided on top of the regular Tcl library:
#  Firstly, this module attempts to automatically discover the default
#  DNS server that is setup on the machine that it is run on.  This
#  server will be used in all further host resolutions.  Secondly, this
#  module offers a rudimentary cache.  The cache is rudimentary since it
#  has no expiration on host name resolutions, but this is probably
#  enough for short lived applications.
