Here is the source of my confusion.

Running:

$ ./configure--without-nss --enable-debug --disable-symbol-hiding

Gives me:

...
  resolver:         default (--enable-ares / --enable-threaded-resolver)
...

But it is actually configured synch resolver:
[ec2-user@ip-10-44-12-61 curl-7.52.1]$ egrep '(USE_ARES|USE_THREADS_POS)' \
 lib/curl_config.h
/* #undef USE_ARES */
/* #undef USE_THREADS_POSIX */

I read the above as "Default resolver, as if enable-ares/enable-threaded was
done", but what it really meant was that it used a default, and to change it,
use either enable-ared or enable-threaded.

Just $.02.

Thank you :)
