Multiple nameserver TCB - multiple DNS lookups

Current MQ design is such that the CHINIT only employs one nameserver TCB and so, the process of DNS lookups works only as a single thread. This behavior is not configurable, but does serve to give an indication if any contacted name servers are not responding quickly enough.

I would like MQ to be able to do multi thread when doing DNS lookups.

    The queue manager tries to do as few a name server lookups as possible, and they are normally fast. It's unlikely having multiple name server TCBs would be particularly useful apart from if there is an issue with the DNS server, and in that case it would be better to fix the DNS server.

    This could add support for multiple TCBs but in general I don't think it would be useful. As a result I'm declining this idea. While declined the idea can still be voted, and commented, upon.
