Well, in fact dns-query does not work on Windows because datagram
sockets are still unsupported.
M-x load-library dns <RET>
M-: (dns-make-network-process "8.8.8.8")
=> Unsupported connection type

We now have the following, which will do DNS lookups, although it
doesnʼt let you specify the server.
network-lookup-address-info is a built-in function in `C source code'.
(network-lookup-address-info NAME &optional FAMILY)
Look up ip address info of NAME.
Optional parameter FAMILY controls whether to look up IPv4 or IPv6
addresses. The default of nil means both, symbol `ipv4' means IPv4
only, symbol `ipv6' means IPv6 only. Returns a list of addresses, or
nil if none were found. Each address is a vector of integers.

Thanks, I didn't know that.
Anyway, this bug report wasn't really about dns.el, but about datagram
sockets not being implemented on the Windows port. The dns.el problem is
just fallout.

True, but the question remains: what do you need datagram sockets for?

I don't need them for anything specific. It's just a capability that works
on GNU/Linux and not on Windows.
And that's why I updated this bug report, to mark that it wasn't obsolete.
