In user-space I did essentially the same thing (though using res_search
instead of manually constructing DNS queries), and for the kernel module,
afsd spawns another process that blocks in the kernel waiting for AFSDB
lookup requests, performs them in user-space using afsconf_GetCellInfo,
and passes the information back into the kernel.
