- read /system/etc/resolv.conf instead of /etc/resolv.conf
- - read the list of servers from system properties. the code looks for
- 'net.dns1', 'net.dns2', etc.. Each property should contain the IP
- address of a DNS server.
-
- these properties are set/modified by other parts of the Android system
- (e.g. the dhcpd daemon).

- the implementation also supports per-process DNS server list, using the
- properties 'net.dns1.<pid>', 'net.dns2.<pid>', etc... Where <pid> stands
- for the numerical ID of the current process.
+ - get the list of servers and the search domains for this process's
+ current interface from the dns cache. This information is sent
+ from the framework via cache functions.
- when performing a query, use a properly randomized Query ID (instead of
a incremented one), for increased security.
