Hello,

I wrote an app that was crashing in c-ares due to fds being bigger than 
1024. While c-ares might be using around 30 fds it is unable to use fds 
above 1024.

I looked into using getsock but it is capped at 16 sockets (although 
could be worked around by building c-ares myself and tweaking the 
constant).

Is there any other way or suggestion? I thought of initializing c-ares 
at the startup phase so I always get smallish fds but it is a bit dodgy 
:D My program uses many many sockets

Thanks!

David
