Actually it's resolv-replace (no e)
reference here: http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/10498

I was using it for a while, but then it would bug out on me.  I sent a
note to the author a while ago, but I don't remember the problem being
"resolvd" ;-)  I also don't remember exactly what the problem was, but
it would rear it's head after doing many thousands of queries so I had
to stop using it.
