Description
The current Netty-based transport doesn't use Netty's asynchronous DNS resolver, which means the client hangs if hostnames cannot be resolved. This is really bad if you are reusing an eventloop from other parts of a program and this eventloop is not supposed to block. gRPC should at least expose the necessary APIs to be able to override the default DNS resolver.
