#964: Memory issues resulting from missing DNS resolution

Type: Problem | Status: new
Priority: Low | Milestone: Bro2.2
Component: Bro | Version: git/master

---------------------+------------------------
If a box running Bro doesn't have correctly configured DNS it causes a
backup of DNS resolution requests. It looks like the requests aren't
timing out quickly enough. We probably need to deal with this one way or
another since a failing DNS server should not result in Bro crashing.
Maybe we could move more control of Bro's DNS resolution into scriptland?
If we had a boolean value that we could flip on or off to enable/disable
DNS resolution? Right now we only have the environment variable which is
not flexible enough to deal with situations like this.
