I know, but it's actually quite simple. I'll post it along with other stuff.

Sorry, but where in libc would I find a thing for reading configured
resolvers? res_init() claims to do so, but I can't see any arguments
going in or out. The rumors say named is being replaced by nsd and
personally I don't want to mess with named code...
I also thought about it, and Michael Cardell Widerkrantz, the author
of radns, the userland daemon made just for this purpose, informed me
about the openresolv library, the BSD-licensed solution of proper
resolv.conf handling. But that's for OpenBSD devs to decide.

AFAIK newer Windows, Linux in radvd and FreeBSD through radns on the
client side. Michael said the earlier versions of radns worked even on
Mac OS X...
