This is a DNS resolution engine for SpamAssassin, implemented in order to
reduce file descriptor usage by Net::DNS and avoid a response collision bug in
that module.

=item $id = $res->bgsend($domain, $type, $class, $cb)

Quite similar to C<Net::DNS::Resolver::bgsend>, except that when a reply
packet eventually arrives, and C<poll_responses> is called, the callback
sub reference C<$cb> will be called.

Note that C<$type> and C<$class> may be C<undef>, in which case they
will default to C<A> and C<IN>, respectively.

The callback sub will be called with three arguments -- the packet that was
delivered, and an id string that fingerprints the query packet and the expected
reply. The third argument is a timestamp (Unix time, floating point), captured
at the time the packet was collected. It is expected that a closure callback
be used, like so:

my $id = $self->{resolver}->bgsend($domain, $type, undef, sub {
        my ($reply, $reply_id, $timestamp) = @_;
        $self->got_a_reply ($reply, $reply_id);
      });

The callback can ignore the reply as an invalid packet sent to the listening
port if the reply id does not match the return value from bgsend.
