Thanks for pushing the first set of patches!

The issue here is that Kai doesn't have much time to look into this and this 
is blocking Günther and me from finishing the MIT Kerberos branch.

I could start to look into DNS but this will take some time cause I need to 
read the RFC first and then write new tests so we have a base against Windows 
to start with.

As far as I understood there are several issues.

a) the DNS server is not async, which is needed to fix this.
b) Our signature checking doesn't work correctly so we handle packets which a 
wrong signature correctly.
c) More tests

I've reordered the patches and updated the git repository.

I could squash the patches so dns faking is the default from the beginning. We 
need it anyway on non-Linux platforms. Talking to the real DNS server only 
works on Linux cause we have a libresolv.so. Other systems implement it 
directly in libc or do not have thread-safe variants.
