Well I know this is most likely too little too late and someone may have responded with this and I missed it, but there's a smaug snippet that used to be called dns_slave, which has been I guess improved and renamed to dns_resolver and it can be found at http://www.alsherok.net/.
I remember this being very easy to install on my Rom mud and it works fine and doesn't cause problems with GDB. So if you're still looking for a resolution check this out.
