The DNSResolver currently does not support IPv6 and initializes an IPv4 (AF_INET) UDP socket. However, modern OS environments often include IPv6 addresses in `/etc/resolv.conf` by default. When the resolver attempts to send a query to an IPv6 nameserver using the IPv4 socket, it crashes with: `Socket::ResolutionError: getaddrinfo: Address family for hostname not supported`
