Research direction

Locate the aiodns test that queries example.com and reproduce the failure in the test environment used for the uvloop 0.21 RPM build. Check how the test compares DNS results, then make the test pass without assuming a single CDN address; done means the relevant DNS test passes reliably across repeated queries.

Description

Hi. Title pretty much describes issue.
Couldnt build latest (0.21) uvloop rpm because dns test failed because of IP addresses not match. example.com seems ot be behind CDN, thus there are a lot of IP addresses.
Workaround for me was just add "example.com" entry into hosts, but i decided i should probably create issue on github too.
