Also how do I go by compiling hobbit with djbdns library? I am already running djbdns's dnscache (internal) on hobbit server and like to take advantage if it for hobbit.

I actually did look at his resolver library for Hobbit, but gave up trying to work out exactly how it should be used. Then I found the c-ares library and never looked back.
I do use his DNS daemons on my servers, but it's kind of "black-box" code - as long as it does what it should, I don't care *how* it does it.
