Do you envision all this being handled by daemons running as pure kernel 
threads?  It would be cool if DragonFly could have a standard API for 
asynchronous DNS resolutions.

And given all the discussion in FreeBSD-current in the last few days 
about the changes to make /bin and /sbin dynamic so that NSS works 
correctly, I would be interested how this could be better achieved in 
the DragonFly world?
