Details

libcurl is currently built without support for c-ares (also in extra). c-ares provides asynchronous DNS requests and resolution, which gets around the fact that the gethostby*() family of functions are blocking calls. Until recently, c-ares was unable to resolve DNS requests with ipv6 servers, but this was implemented in version 1.7 [1].

c-ares support has been battle tested for a decade now in curl. It should be given another shot. DOH support in curl is dependent on c-ares builds.
