/// A protocol that covers an object that does DNS lookups.
///
/// In general the rules for the resolver are relatively broad: there are no specific requirements on how
/// it operates. However, the rest of the code assumes that it obeys RFC 6724, particularly section 6 on
/// ordering returned addresses. That is, the IPv6 and IPv4 responses should be ordered by the destination
/// address ordering rules from that RFC. This specification is widely implemented by getaddrinfo
/// implementations, so any implementation based on getaddrinfo will work just fine. In the future, a custom
/// resolver will need also to implement these sorting rules.
public protocol Resolver {
/// Initiate a DNS A query for a given host.
///
/// - parameters:
/// - host: The hostname to do an A lookup on.
/// - port: The port we'll be connecting to.
/// - returns: An `EventLoopFuture` that fires with the result of the lookup.

///
/// This method is called whenever queries that have not completed no longer have their
/// results needed. The resolver should, if possible, abort any outstanding queries and
/// clean up their state.
