* September 26
+- Henrik Stoerner: found out that C-ARES does not look at the /etc/host.conf
+ file to determine the sequence in which to search /etc/hosts and DNS. So on
+ systems where this order is defined by /etc/host.conf instead of a "lookup"
+ entry in /etc/resolv.conf, C-ARES will always default to looking in DNS
+ first, and /etc/hosts second.
+
+ c-ares now looks at
+
+ 1) resolv.conf (for the "lookup" line);
+ 2) nsswitch.fon (for the "hosts:" line);
+ 3) host.conf (for the "order" line).
+
+ First match wins.
