Hi list, I asked you some questions about getaddrinfo on BSD last year.
With your help, I submitted some patches to CPython that allowed it to call
getaddrinfo concurrently on BSD, and now I've written an article about it:

https://engineering.mongodb.com/post/the-saga-of-concurrent-dns-in-python-and-the-defeat-of-the-wicked-mutex-troll/

If silly fantasy stories are your thing, enjoy! If not, you can just read
the report on bugs.python.org:

http://bugs.python.org/issue25924

Thanks especially to Christos for his help testing my theory about Mac OS X.

Peace,
Jesse
