I've been looking into a way to get reSIP to use windows name resolution along side with ares. This would
allow reSIP to resolve names using Netbios, WINS and hosts file on windows systems. The problem is that these functions are synchronous
and can block the stack. For now I've committed a solution that is synchronous -
it works as follows: -
to enable on a WIN32 system -
add compile flag: WIN32_SYNCRONOUS_RESOLUTION_ON_ARES_FAILURE -
if ares
DNS lookup fails then we fallback to Windows name resolution Another draw back of this is that if a name really doesn't
exist then it will take twice as long to detect it. Ie. Ares needs to timeout then Win API needs to timeout. If anyone has any bright idea's
on a slick way to make these windows name resolution API's synchronous,
then please share it. Until I can find a
good solution it will remain a compile flag. Thanks, Scott |
