If I get time before someone else does, that looks like a place for me
to start.

Since libcurl's DNS cache is downstream of some full-function resolver
cache,
using 60 seconds as default is probably not harmful. On the other hand,
using
the exact cache seems somehow more correct.

I've thought a little about what should be the TTL that libcurl's cache
uses
when it contains data drawn from multiple RRsets (even if just A and
AAAA).
I think the safe think to do is to use the minimum value across all
retrieved
RRsets, so that each set of related data in cache has a consistent
lifetime.
