Mmm. I don't like adding a dependency on an external package in
twisted.internet. And this doesn't let people replace the name resolver
with their own that does e.g. caching. And what if the reactor doesn't
support UDP?

I suggest instead a reactor.installResolver(r) method, where the default
one stays as is using socket module (with the DNS type fix going in
though).
