We are using UDP with DNS caching in production and noticed the occasional unhandled exception in our application when the datadog agent is unavailable. We tracked it down to the lookup branch of
sendUsingDnsCache
which callssocket.send
within a callback.socket.send
can throw a sync exception and not invokecallback
as described here: https://nodejs.org/api/dgram.html#socketsendmsg-offset-length-port-address-callback.
