 * Factory and Cache of DNS resolvers
 * 
 * to avoid having several resolvers resolving the same hostname which might
 * result in conflicts with caching, this class is a singleton factory and the
 * only place where Resolvers are constructed. They are remembered in an
 * internal cache by hostname and IP version requested (v4, v6 or both).
 * 
 * During resolving, several different name servers will have to be queried for
 * the same hostname. These recursive resolvers are created using
 * get_recursor_for and are NOT cached, so they should only be used from another
 * "regular" resolver (created using get_resolver_for)
 *
 * The DnsMaster also remembers a few global variables that can be queried
 * using public getter functions and it creates the DnsCache used by all its
 * resolvers
