Since a bunch of people have suggested other solutions I just wanted
to add me 0.01$CURRENCY, FWIW.
Other than missing update for some manual page (not sure where this
should go) I don't see a problem adding this patch. "Normal" users
should be able already get similar functionality already by simply
preloading a custom patched libc, so I don't see a problem supporting
this.
This is clearly much simpler than setting up a full blown bind with
split DNS.
