There are solutions that implement an async getaddrinfo pool using a
bunch of ports.. or you could write your own DNS code when/if you have
to optimize that. A single function seems like a silly reason to
dismiss a language. You could even use a port written in Twisted that
did the async DNS for Erlang until a better solution was available.
Regardless, you should probably ask on the Erlang list. There's
definitely a chance that this is a solved problem already.
