I just pushed a new branch at my github fork of gwproxy [1], you can take
a look if you want in the branch refactor-dns-feature.

The work-in-progress contain several TODOs:
- fix the parser (watch only for A record, ignore others like CNAME)
- handle both IPv6 and IPv4 when preferred family is AF_UNSPEC (see
dns.c:480 and dns.c:426)
- insert cache and house-keeping cache
- special domain name handling (e.g., allow localhost but refuse
.onion) and /etc/hosts
- integration with io_uring
- polishing the overall changes

Actually, I do have plenty of time. But I tend to lose focus when things
don't go well, and then it's hard for me to get back into it.

Maybe it'll be a different story if I talk things out and discuss it with
other
gwproxy contributors, but argh, it's hard to explain—or to change my habits.

Maybe, if you don't mind, it'd be nice to do it in more of a Q&A style
instead
of you continuing the work all by yourself. That way, I might actually start
changing my own habits, but only if you're comfortable with that suggestion.
