+% ASIODNS_UDP_ASYNC_SEND_FAIL Error sending UDP packet to %1: %2
+The low-level ASIO library reported an error when trying to send a UDP
+packet in asynchronous UDP mode. This can be any error reported by
+send_to(), and can indicate problems such as too high a load on the network,
+or a problem in the underlying library or system.
+This packet is dropped and will not be sent, but service should resume
+normally.
+If you see a single occurrence of this message, it probably does not
+indicate any significant problem, but if it is logged often, it is probably
+a good idea to inspect your network traffic.

+% ASIODNS_UDP_SYNC_SEND_FAIL Error sending UDP packet to %1: %2
+The low-level ASIO library reported an error when trying to send a UDP
+packet in synchronous UDP mode. See ASIODNS_UDP_ASYNC_SEND_FAIL for
+more information.

 % ASIODNS_UNKNOWN_ORIGIN unknown origin for ASIO error code %1 (protocol: %2, address %3)
 An internal consistency check on the origin of a message from the
 asynchronous I/O module failed. This may indicate an internal error;
