Please correct me if I'm wrong, but:
It boils down to implementations. Not all DNS resolvers are born equal. And not
all of them support the same features that you might need when deploying.
I think we can delegate to the system and for our own implementation, we
currently use dnsjava .
dnsjava received some attention lately (and we should update)
https://github.com/dnsjava/dnsjava/releases .
But before that it was received very little patches and releases. Mind you, DNS
does not change that often.
If you delegate resolving to the OS you will be using it's configurations and
libraries which could work in cases where dnsjava does not and vicersa.
