# dns server using dnslib and gevent

# set the key as
# set IP:name ip_addr
# set TXT:name txtfield
# fallback on gevent's dns resolver

gevent.dns module is gone in gevent 1.0.
However gevent 1.0 implements socket.gethostbyname_ex() (using c-ares library which is better than libevent-dns)

thanks, fixing it
