Add the domain name to the dns ENOTFOUND error in node 0.10 and earlier versions.

This issue has been resolved since node 0.11.8..

If your node.js process crash with an error like this:

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
              ^
Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND
    at errnoException (dns.js:37:11)
    at Object.onanswer [as oncomplete] (dns.js:124:16)

This is because somewhere you are doing a request without handling the "error" event.

But the node.js error doesn't say what's the domain it can't resolve.

This module adds the domain:

events.js:72
        throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
              ^
Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND. Domain: blabla-yogurt-blabliblu-blo.com
    at errnoException (dns.js:37:11)
    at Object.onanswer [as oncomplete] (dns.js:124:16)

The new error also has a "hostname" property with the hostname as in 0.11.
