man pthread_kill

Last I looked, this wasn't implemented on *BSD, though.

I'd say the forking solution presented elsewhere is a
better idea, because in either case when you port to 
Windows you'll need to use the Windows threading functions.
(Or does glib abstract around it now?)

Otherwise, there are asynchronous DNS libraries around.
Look at http://gnetlibrary.org for one that's designed 
around glib.
