On Go 1.6, amd64 linux.

My application does a lot of lookups via net.LookupAddr. Sometimes, it gets stuck forever:

goroutine 114 [IO wait]:

I tried to follow the code inside go, but there doesn't seem to be a way to set a timeout for this request.

Since there are nine net.Lookup* methods, I assume that adding a timeout for one of them would mean adding a timeout for each one?

Yes. And we can't modify any existing API; we can only add.

I think the most future-proof option is to add a new type Resolver struct and add the 9 Lookup* methods to it, but taking a context.Context.

And then we can add options in the future to the Resolver type, like which upstream DNS server to use, whether to force cgo or not, etc.

I'd be happy to draft a proposal for this. Should I file a new issue when it's ready?
