You could just as easily make the same argument on Linux: glibc already includes a resolver lib, so why shouldn't BIND use it? I have yet to see a Linux distribution patch bind to use libresolv, and I see little difference between using libresolv and copying (part of) minires into BIND. > Which is basically > > - use /etc/resolv.conf if available > - otherwise, use Windows' GetNetworkParam() function. You asked originally if it was feasible to do so. There is a Windows version of BIND, so perhaps it is possible, but AFAICS accomodating both would be difficult to maintain. If we're going to expect every Cygwin user to maintain an /etc/fstab, I really don't see why we can't expect those few who want to use BIND to maintain an /etc/resolv.conf.
