listed in /etc/resolv.conf, or it can use a cgo-based resolver that calls C
library routines such as getaddrinfo and getnameinfo.
By default the pure Go resolver is used, because a blocked DNS request consumes
only a goroutine, while a blocked C call consumes an operating system thread.
On Unix the pure Go resolver is preferred over the cgo resolver, because a blocked DNS
request consumes only a goroutine, while a blocked C call consumes an operating system thread.
When cgo is available, the cgo-based resolver is used instead under a variety of
conditions: on systems that do not let programs make direct DNS requests (OS X),
when the LOCALDOMAIN environment variable is present (even if empty),

Go resolver does not implement, and when the name being looked up ends in .local
or is an mDNS name.
On all systems (except Plan 9), when the cgo resolver is being used
this package applies a concurrent cgo lookup limit to prevent the system
from running out of system threads. Currently, it is limited to 500 concurrent lookups.
The resolver decision can be overridden by setting the netdns value of the
GODEBUG environment variable (see package runtime) to go or cgo, as in:
