I have a need for performing DNS resolution (name to address) for the use by a kernel extension, and it would be incredibly convenient if it could be performed within the kernel. I've looked around endless header files but haven't found anything helpful.

WHY? This is just wrong on so many levels... If you ever need to do this type of thing, you need to take a step back and figure out why you're trying to this from the KERNEL. I can't even really think of one. The right way to do this is to have a user space process do the DNS resolution and pass the information to your kernel extension; better yet would be for a user space daemon to do both the DNS resolution AND all network communication.
