most of them require update to the current name servers. Since this is a
feature, which may also be wanted for running programs, I guess one of the
solutions could be to use a ipc shared memory segment. That way scripts can
change it without writing to a file and applications may be modified at
runtime. Of course sysv shared memory is a ugly beast and not all systems
may support it, but other things like kernel support may be harder to get.
Definitely this needs to be resolved by libc folk.
