Not knowing anything about NT or windows, I'd suggest a look at
NTBind: ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/bind/contrib/ntbind/

The sources are available, and if it includes the reslover library,
it's possible that taking just the resolver library and porting it
other win32 systems may not be too bad.

But I sugegst you re-read the first sentance of my reply before
getting too excited ;-)
