    It may be able to use kqueue. However, I'm not sure how kevent() is
    cheap than stat(). It requires holding a file descriptor for
    monitoring change of resolv.conf. The logic will be slightly
    complicate, and it may cause memory leak. So, unless there is
    significant advantage to use kqueue, stat() is better here, IMHO.

    Sincerely,
