FYI the method of poking at _res to change nameservers does not work
with musl and support for it won't be added -- it's an ugly stateful
mess relying on accidentally-exposed internal data structures.
I think Rob has something based on my version of host(1) in pending,
which shows how to query arbitrary servers and parse arbitrary records
(not just A/AAAA) in a clean manner with the public stateless APIs.
But what you have so far might be a good addition for the mean time
anyway until it can be improved.
