But we could probably make use of it and it would not require the timer
at least for the async DNS resolution.  It would not solve the TLS issue
though.  But maybe there is a similar notification for async sockets
when they get connected?  If there exists an approach that does not
require timers, then I guess this would be the preferred one...
