There is nothing insane about it.  It has been the obvious solution for
Years.

If we see a name that needs to be resolved we fork a process (to avoid
blocking), resolve the name, and send back a remote config request using
an auth key set up before the fork over the localhost address.

If we convert to ISC's eventlib stuff this will get tons easier.
