</span>There is some background stuff that roughly says "need more?", and if so<br>
fires off the DNS lookup.<br>

</span>Probably not directly, but it wouldn't be hard for the server code to use<br>
more than one address if that was desired. Maybe it should be "servers"<br>
rather than "server". Do you have an example where that would be useful?<br>
<br>
If you don't have lots of servers, you probably don't want to switch to using<br>
"pool" since that path will probably keep banging away at the DNS looking for<br>
more servers.<br>

If the mechanism for adding new pool servers was blocking on the DNS call but asynchronous to the rest of the daemon, I was figuring to call the lookup with the name provided by the server directive.
