The function described here may not exist in generally available versions of Momentum, and may change in behavior when it is generally available. Consult your vendor for definitive advice on the use of this function.

Submit a query to the dns cache, asking an alternative ares channel.

When the query completes, the completion callback will be called. If flags is set to DNS_CACHE_DISPATCH_NOW, and if called from the scheduler thread, then the query will be queued immediately and may call the completion routine before the call to dns_cache_submit2 returns.

This can make it difficult to write asynchronous code, as things may appear to complete before they have finished starting.

Also note that while two different servers may return different answers for the same query, the cache is unified, so whomever resolves a domain first will control its value in the cache.
