the issue is that the BSD implementation doesn't accept a call like:
getaddrinfo(SERVER_NAME, "9999", NULL, &res);
because if will reject a numerical string in the second parameter if no hints are explicitely
provided. This technically doesn't violate POSIX but might make porting Linux software a bit
difficult. For more details see:

also comment debugging printf() calls which shouldn't be there.
The current solution is to read the net.dns.search property,
and expand the list during the resolve initialization. In the
future, we could implement search list per process.
Update: refine the code accordingly.
Update: remove unnecessary code.
Update: remove the unused variable.
