 To force a particular resolver while also printing debugging information,

+The Go resolver will send an EDNS0 additional header with a DNS request,
+to signal a willingness to accept a larger DNS packet size.
+This can reportedly cause sporadic failures with the DNS server run

 requires passing -lresolv when linking the C code.
