+ * objects, as the core will do this for you. They must always be created upon
+ * the heap using new, as you cannot be sure at what time they will be deleted.
+ * Allocating them on the stack or attempting to delete them yourself could cause
+ * the object to go 'out of scope' and cause a segfault in the core if the result
+ * arrives at a later time.
+ * @param source The IP or hostname to resolve
+ * @param qt The query type to perform. If you just want to perform a forward
+ * or reverse lookup, and you don't care wether you get ipv4 or ipv6, then use
+ * the constants DNS_QUERY_FORWARD and DNS_QUERY_REVERSE, which automatically
+ * select from 'A' record or 'AAAA' record lookups. However, if you want to resolve
+ * a specific record type, resolution of 'A', 'AAAA', 'PTR' and 'CNAME' records
+ * is supported. Use one of the QueryType enum values to initiate this type of
+ * lookup. Resolution of 'AAAA' ipv6 records is always supported, regardless of
+ * wether InspIRCd is built with ipv6 support.
+ * If you attempt to resolve a 'PTR' record using DNS_QUERY_PTR, and InspIRCd is
+ * built with ipv6 support, the 'PTR' record will be formatted to ipv6 specs,
+ * e.g. x.x.x.x.x....ip6.arpa. otherwise it will be formatted to ipv4 specs,
+ * e.g. x.x.x.x.in-addr.arpa. This translation is automatic.
+ * To get around this automatic behaviour, you must use one of the values
+ * DNS_QUERY_PTR4 or DNS_QUERY_PTR6 to force ipv4 or ipv6 behaviour on the lookup,
+ * irrespective of what protocol InspIRCd has been built for.
+ * @throw ModuleException This class may throw an instance of ModuleException, in the
+ * event a lookup could not be allocated, or a similar hard error occurs such as
+ * the network being down. This will also be thrown if an invalid IP address is
+ * passed when resolving a 'PTR' record.
