* The new varlink interface exposes a method to subscribe to DNS resolutions on the system. The socket permissions are open for owner and group only. * Notifications are sent to subscriber(s), if any, after successful resolution of A and AAAA records. This feature could be used by applications for auditing/logging services downstream of the resolver. It could also be used to asynchronously update the firewall. For example, a system that has a tightly configured firewall could open up connections selectively to known good hosts based on a known allow-list of hostnames. Of course, updating the firewall asynchronously will require other design considerations (such as queueing packets in the user space while a verdict is made).
