It is not a good idea to have a thread get an address from the request
cache, while another thread is deleting said address as the cache has
grown too large. Add a lock around the cache access to make it safe.
netresolv (and libbind) won't cache DNS requests, which can result in a
lot of DNS requests being made for the same host. Implement a simple
cache in RAM (local to each application) which will keep the most
recently requested addresses cached. This can speed up loading of an
HTTP page a lot, by saving a DNS request for each resource stored on the
same server as the main page.
to iterate over all possible addresses, as suggested privately by Rene.
* Added flags to the resolving methods that allow more control over the
addresses returned.
* Added setters to BNetworkAddress that accept a service name instead of port
number, renamed PortName() to ServiceName().
* Made the sockaddr* cast operators return a const sockaddr as it was supposed
to be, although I should probably add non-const ones as well.
* This also simplified the code somewhat.
