Note that mozilla uses lookups in a separate process, so that option may be gross but it can't be that bad.
Samba does this too. Perhaps someone should put it into a library, if there is not already one.

Thanks for the pointer, but this seems to only do DNS, not other nsswitch options such as /etc/hosts or NIS. Not an absolute impediment, but it would be nice to support them for users who need them.
Also, skadns is part of djbos, and using it means diving down
a long rabbit hole and saying goodbye to Unix APIs in general.
I wouldn't recommend it unless you are willing to drink the djb koolaid
(which may be yummy but takes a lot of getting used to).
