## Motivation
Several years ago, I was hosting websites on a server in my garage. Back then, my ADSL modem was very basic, and I wanted to have a DNS server which would resolve to an internal IP address when the domain itself resolved to my public IP. Thus was born [RubyDNS]. This project [was originally built on](https://github.com/ioquatix/rubydns/tree/v0.8.5) top of [EventMachine], but a lack of support for [IPv6 at the time](https://github.com/ioquatix/rubydns/issues/45) and [other problems](https://github.com/ioquatix/rubydns/issues/14), meant that I started looking for other options. Around that time [Celluloid] was picking up steam. I had not encountered actors before and I wanted to learn more about it. So, [I reimplemented RubyDNS on top of Celluloid](https://github.com/ioquatix/rubydns/tree/v0.9.0) and this eventually became the first stable release.

### Tasks
An `Async::Task` runs using a `Fiber` and blocking operations e.g. `sleep`, `read`, `write` yield control until the operation can complete. There are two main methods to create tasks.
