All methods in the dns module\nuse C-Ares except for <code>dns.lookup</code> which uses <code>getaddrinfo(3)</code> in a thread\npool. C-Ares is much faster than <code>getaddrinfo</code> but the system resolver is\nmore consistent with how other programs operate. When a user does\n<code>net.connect(80, &#39;google.com&#39;)</code> or <code>http.get({ host: &#39;google.com&#39; })</code> the\n<code>dns.lookup</code> method is used. Users who need to do a large number of lookups\nquickly should use the methods that go through C-Ares.\n\n</p>\n<p>Here is an example which resolves <code>&#39;www.google.com&#39;</code> then reverse\nresolves the IP addresses which are returned.\n\n</p>\n<pre><code>var dns = require(&#39;dns&#39;);\n\ndns.resolve4(&#39;www.google.com&#39;, function (err, addresses) {\n  if (err) throw err;\n\n  console.log(&#39;addresses: &#39; + JSON.stringify(addresses));\n\n  addresses.forEach(function (a) {\n    dns.reverse(a, function (err, domains) {\n      if (err) {\n        throw err;\n      }\n\n      console.log(&#39;reverse for &#39; + a + &#39;: &#39; + JSON.stringify(domains));\n    });\n  });\n});</code></pre>\n",
