Description

Do we still need to support DNS proxying? It is disabled by default, via:

{CONFIG, "proxy.config.dns.proxy.enabled", "", INK_INT, "0", RU_RESTART_TM, RR_NULL, RC_INT, "[0-1]", RA_NULL} {CONFIG, "proxy.config.dns.proxy_port", "", INK_INT, "53", RU_RESTART_TM, RR_NULL, RC_INT, "[0-65535]", RA_NULL}

but there is also a #define at build time (DNS_PROXY) to completely disable it. I'm tempted to say that we ought to remove it entirely. Getting rid of it would eliminate a bunch of code, potentially allowing us to simplify a lot of code (particularly in the future, if/when we switch to something like c-ares).

Thoughts?
