[getdns-api] getdns_context_set_upstream_recursive_servers

[Willem Toorop]

Hi Tom,

That is indeed the function you need to use to target servers directly.
  Don't forget to put the context in GETDNS_RESOLUTION_STUB mode with
getdns_context_set_resolution_type() too.  To not send the RD bit set
with your queries, you have to pass along an (unofficial) header
extension with the "rd" bit set to zero, ie:
	{ "header": { "rd": 0 } }.

But yes, function (and constant) names in getdns can be rather verbose.
 getdns_context_set_upstreams() would have worked just as well.  We
could add unofficial more concise aliases, but I don't want to bloat the
API.

Regards,
