Description

I had sort of assumed I'd be able to mDNS resolution on macOS and Linux with this library, but I guess c-ares doesn't really support it on Linux, does it?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Swift library’s c-ares wrapper and how DNS resolution is configured on Linux. Determine whether Linux mDNS can be supported through the current dependency or requires another approach; done means mDNS names resolve correctly on Linux, with behavior verified by an appropriate test.
