It's funny you bring this up right now. I am currently struggling with 
my pre-production xymon instance. The only way I seem able to get it to 
behave is to start xymonnet with --no-ares. When using c-ares, I 
routinely get hundreds of test failures due to inability to resolve names.

How is the c-ares library supposed to be superior to my system's 
built-in resolver functions?
