Also getaddrinfo(3), I hope in preference to the obsolete interfaces.

There is no explicit use of DNS in OpenSSL, and many OpenSSL
applications open their own TCP connections, and then ask OpenSSL
to perform a handshake over an already connected socket, in which
case OpenSSL does no name lookups at all.
