The class of a dns-nameserver object. The value of
variable *nameservers* is a list of nameserver
objects. dns-nameserver has the following slots
and accessors:
name, accessor is dns-nameserver-name. A string naming the
host name of the nameserver, or nil if that
name isn't known.
ipaddr, accessor is dns-nameserver-ipaddr. The IP address of the namesever,
which is an integer.
sent, accessor is dns-nameserver-sent. The number of
queries sent to the nameserver.
received, accessor is dns-nameserver-received. The number of
responses from the nameserver. Because DNS uses the UDP protocol some
requests and responses can get dropped or duplicated so the sent and
received values may not be equal. However if there are many fewer
received packets than sent packets then that means that it's probably
a waste of time to use this nameserver.
