Hi Shamil, thank you for your contribution :-)

Please excuse the long delay in answering.

The headache I have with this patch is
- Wget is in "maintenance only" mode, new features are going into wget2.
- Wget2 already has a DNS cache that can be preloaded via command line option.
- Wget2 comes with libwget which exports the DNS cache API, so we could use it 
for wget without adding much code.

Do you think it's possible to use Wget2 in your CI scenario ?
```
      --dns-cache-preload   File to be used to preload the DNS cache.
                              Format is like /etc/hosts 
(IP<whitespace>hostname).
```
