description:
  This program starts a CORS enabled HTTP server on a given -addr whose
  requests to -path are converted into -timeout bound DNS SRV queries against
  the -resolver. The -param defines where the name to be resolved comes from.
  Answers returned are load balanced with the given -strategy and used to respond
  to the original request with the defined -code and derived location.
