This package is part of the tcllib dns module.

http://tcllib.sourceforge.net/doc/dns.html

It is supposed to wrap up the dns package and provide a less flexible but simpler to use interface for a programmer that just wants the ip address from a host name. It includes caching of resolved addresses (although it ignores the time-to-live field).

Usage ::resolv::resolve hostname returns the IP address.
