Ability to support all options http and https modules support for node

[michaelBenin]

Hello,

Currently we are using axios under heavy load.

We are encountering the error:

Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND undefined undefined:80
    at errnoException (dns.js:26:10)
    at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:77:26)

Which is a known node issue:

nodejs/node#7931
nodejs/node#5436

According to 7931, this error can be mitigated by setting the family: v4 option.

After looking through axios's source, I don't believe setting that option is available:

https://github.com/mzabriskie/axios/blob/master/lib/adapters/http.js#L74

The available options in node shows the family property as well as others:

https://nodejs.org/api/https.html#https_https_request_options_callback

Thanks!

After forking and modifying to use v4, problem still persists. Next solutions for my team are to upgrade to latest node, as well more aggressive caching strategy.

This error was actually unrelated to axios.

Hey @michaelBenin what did this server end up being related to?

@michaelBenin Did it work in the end for you by forking and updating node version? I'm currently facing the same error under high load (Node.js 8.9.3).
