[Libevent-users] evdns and multi-threaded environments

[Dave Simpson]

I've been using the event_base API to allow several worker threads to run an
event loop.  I'd like to use the asynchronous dns from evdns, but from what
I can see, it isn't thread safe.  Any thoughts on this?

>From looking at the code, two big changes need to be made:

1) allow API users to specify an event_base for any call that interacts
with the libevent system.

2) move most of the global variables/state into a struct and provide
an init call that returns the struct as a handle that can later be
passed into most of the API calls.  That version of init could take
the event_base to be used.

Any thoughts on this?
