Lookup from threads
===================

This example shows how to use unbound module from a threaded program.
In this example, three lookup threads are created which work in background.
Each thread resolves different DNS record.

    #!/usr/bin/python

        def run(self):
            print "Thread lookup started:",self.name

            if status == 0 and result.havedata:
                print "  Result:",self.name,":", result.data.address_list

    for name in ["www.fit.vutbr.cz","www.vutbr.cz","www.google.com"]:
        thread = LookupThread(ctx, name)
        thread.start()
        threads.append(thread)

    for thread in threads:
        thread.join()
