The current integration with dns_cache module has an issue. When dns_cache module is disabled the OpenSIPS uses gethostbyname(), gethostbyname2(), gethostbyaddr() functions from libc which respect the nsswitch.conf settings and for example automatically perform a lookup in /etc/hosts. However when dns_cache is enabled the OpenSIPS starts to use res_search() instead, which only performs DNS lookups and as a result it becomes impossible to query other name resolution services configured in the nsswitch.conf.
I propose to use gethostby*() functions consistently regardless of caching settings.
