20 test harness. It recognizes some special domain names, and uses them to force
21 failure and retry responses (optionally with a delay). Otherwise, it calls an
22 external utility that mocks-up a nameserver, if it can find the utility.
23 If not, it passes its arguments on to res_search(). The fake nameserver may
24 also return a code specifying that the name should be passed on.
