DNS resolver patch

The VirtualBox —natdnsresolver does not support IPv6 AAAA address queries. It returns “NotImp” (code 4) for such queries.

The MUSL library (https://www.musl-libc.org/) resolver does not recognize this code and retries the query until the timeout. This causes DNS lookups to take several seconds after which they are eventually successful.

This issue was reported under https://bugs.alpinelinux.org/issues/6221

Can team take it up at the earliest and include a patch in Alpine 3.8.2 since it seems to be a blocker for our development process?
