dns: handle implicit bind DNS errors
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When send() triggers an implicit bind, the send operation is
added to an internal queue. If a DNS error occurs during the bind,
there is currently no mechanism for clearing the queue other than
sending more data. If DNS errors keep occurring, the queue will
continue to grow with no upper bound. This commit reports errors
with implicit binds, and clears the queue. This should be fine,
given the nature of UDP.
