Comment(by datallah):
Right, your patch does what you want for your particular situation, but it
isn't going to be an acceptable thing to do in libpurple by default - in
most proxy cases, the right thing to do *is* going to be the SRV lookup.
The proposed plugin solution will bypass SRV/TXT lookups and make it seem
to the code that initiates the lookup that no results were returned. If
implemented correctly, it should have the same effect as changing the code
like you're doing, but will apply to all places where the dns requests are
made.
