> Migrated from https://github.com/reactphp/react/issues/181, originally reported 2013-04-13 Calling Socket\Server::listen($port, $host) with a hostname instead of an IPv4 address is a blocking operation. Example: ``` php $server = new Socket\Server($loop); $server->listen(1234, 'example.com'); ``` Giving a hostname will result in resolving it via DNS (blocking).
