Greetings again. I have updated the API again based on input from this list. The new version is at <http://www.vpnc.org/getdns-api/>. The changes between 0.268 0.293 are:

- Changed the main function calls by splitting them into:
	• getdns_address for doing getaddrinfo()-like address lookups
	• getdns_hostname for doing getnameinfo()-like name lookups
	• getdns_service for getting results from SRV lookups
	• getdns_general for looking up any type of DNS record
Each has a parallel _sync call for the sync fans out there.

- Fixed the processed information for SRV records to be srv_addresses (a list). The list is ordered by priority and weight based on the weighting algorithm in RFC 2782, lowest priority value first.

Please continue to review the proposed API. I am still very interested in comments from application developers about what they want/need from a new DNS API.
