I don't think that it should be something that related to evdns, since
bufferevent could even don't use it at all (evdns will be used only when
you will create any).
So I guess it should be new function, that will accept hints I guess.

Also I want to note that I'm not a libevent maintainer, so maybe he will
disagree with me in this.

Cheers,
