[Twisted-Python] Twisted.Names assistance with auth and additional sections

[Sean Leach]

Thanks Jean-Paul,

I tried changing to queryUDP, and it just sits there, never sends out
a query (watching with tcpdump).  If I change it to _lookup, which it
looks like queryUDP calls, it sends the query, but like lookupAddress,
I don't get the additional and auth sections still...

What is weird, when I do this

deferred = resolver.queryUDP([Dns.Query(name, dns.IN, dns.A)])

and I try and debug why it's hanging, I put a print in the
ResolverBase.queryUDP function right at the top, and it never prints.

Regards,
Sean
