Hey! I am testing out the resolver.cancel method, and I am getting back ENOTFOUND instead of ECANCELLED.

Here's my script:

const { Resolver } = require('dns');
const resolver = new Resolver();
resolver.setServers([
 '123.45.67.89' // Not a real DNS Server
]);


function reverseLookup(ip) {
	// Variable to test if we got our answer back in time
	var matchfound = false;
	resolver.reverse(ip,function(err,domains){
		if(err) {
			// View our error
			console.error(err);
		} else {
			var matchfound = true;
			// Found a match, or two.
			domains.forEach(function(domain){
				console.log(domain);
			});
		}
	});
	setTimeout(function() {
		if(matchfound === false) {
			console.error("Took too long to reverse IP. Cancelling lookup.")
			resolver.cancel();
		}
	}, 1); // Set to 1 for testing
}

reverseLookup('8.8.8.8'); // google-public-dns-a.google.com

Output:

PS C:\Users\Jorgen\Documents\app_backend\tools> node .\dns-reverse-lookup.js

Seems like an upstream bug to me; see c-ares/c-ares#138
