		dweekly 10 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Async DNS Good points, all - there is a lot of subtlety here. CFHostStartInfoResolution is deprecated, no? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/cfnetwork/cfhostst...:) That leaves us with DNSServiceGetAddrInfo? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/dnssd/dnsservicege...:) or some kinda convoluted use of Network and NWEndpoint/NWconnection with continuations could do the same?

Oh yes, good catch. Yeah, you want to use `NWConnection` (or one of the other higher-level supported networking APIs), which raises another issue with doing custom DNS resolution. You need those API's connect-by-name semantics to get VPN-on-Demand:
