I remember having worked on this a long long time ago.

As far as I remember properly, the CTor implementation does not use libc
for resolving names, but rather libevent, in order to resolve them
asynchronously.

There were some caveats wrt to resolvers outlined in the libevent
documentation, maybe it is worth looking into that?

Thank You
Clara
