Until c-ares is in the OpenSolaris dev repo, libcurl can't use it.
Since c-ares appears to be an async. resolver interfaces, discussion of
it's merits/inclusion in OpenSolaris is probably out of scope for
install-discuss at opensolaris.org. A better forum for that discussion
might be networking-discuss at opensolaris.org. Of course, they may point
you at a more focused forum.
FWIW, gethostby*() on Solaris runs through the name service switch which
provides caching of lookups via the nscd(1m) so without knowing a bunch
more about c-ares and how it might be used in curl (or wireshark), I
don't know what sort of improvement it would provide.
