Wondering why no one voting for this feature request. Imho this is a feature
which is really missing from all those network features that PHP gives us.
This request is going to get 6 year old. Imho we should start to think about
what is usefull and what is trash. Imho trash features are possibilities for
brackets while defining an array:
$foo = [ 1, 2, 3 ];
A usefull feature would be this which was request in 2007.
Please think about it since perl or other languages are able to query specific
nameservers:
http://www.net-dns.org/docs/Net/DNS/Resolver.html
http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-1.9.3/libdoc/resolv/rdoc/Resolv/DNS.html
...
Those PEAR packages which are fossiles in PHP history (sorry but these PHP 4
compatibility is pretty odd) can query specific nameservers, but tbh - I would
never use PEAR packages since the performance of that code is horrible.
Hopefully this feature will find its way to a new PHP Version.

------------
It would be nice if there were a way to direct DNS requests to a specific nameserver so that one
could write code that tests what a specific nameserver is returning and avoid caching. That way if
you are writing a diagnostic tool to test name server configurations it will work correctly. Would
like to be able to write what DNSstuff does in PHP.
