> The async_resolve method of the boost::asio::ip::tcp::resolver class allows
> to perform asynchronous calls for name resolution which would, in theory,
> permit to add a timeout to the name resolution, useful when DNS calls take
> long.
> In practice, it has been observed that this call creates a thread internally
> and even if a timeout is set in the io_context run method and the call exits
> at timeout, subsequent calls to run or the destruction of the io_context will
> wait for the thread created by the async_resolve method to finish which
> provokes that calls to the resolver can take longer than the timeout set.
> As a consequence, it is proposed to use the synchronous version of the method
> (resolve) which makes the code simpler and does not lead to interpret that a
> timeout out can be set to the name resolution.
