Thanks Brad! appreciate the quick response.

Our query was in the context of a "Security-Aware Resolver" using C-ares.
We were wondering if something similar to what "bind" provides is there in
C-ares too.

I see that there are some relevant changes in ares_nameser.h but do not see
anything relevant while creating queries/parsing answers.

Is C-ares not intended to be used by "Security-Aware Resolvers"?

Regards
Anant
