DNS Query Support
=================
The ``dns.query`` module is for sending messages to DNS servers, and
processing their responses. If you want "stub resolver" behavior, then
you should use the higher level ``dns.resolver`` module; see :ref:`resolver`.
For UDP and TCP, the module provides a single "do everything" query
function, and also provides the send and receive halves of this function
individually for situations where more sophisticated I/O handling is
being used by the application.
