var http = require('http');

  var options = {     
      host: 'localhost',
      port: 80,
      path: '/broadcast'
    };

  var requestLoop = setInterval(function(){

      http.get (options, function (resp) {
        resp.on('data', function (d) {
          console.log ('data!', d.toString());
        });
        resp.on('end', function (d) {
           console.log ('Finished !');
        });
      }).on('error', function (e) {
          console.log ('error:', e);
      });
  }, 10000);

var dns = require('dns'), cache = {};
dns._lookup = dns.lookup;
dns.lookup = function(domain, family, done) {
    if (!done) {
        done = family;
        family = null;
    }

    var key = domain+family;
    if (key in cache) {
        var ip = cache[key],
            ipv = ip.indexOf('.') !== -1 ? 4 : 6;

        return process.nextTick(function() {
            done(null, ip, ipv);
        });
    }

    dns._lookup(domain, family, function(err, ip, ipv) {
        if (err) return done(err);
        cache[key] = ip;
        done(null, ip, ipv);
    });
};

// Works fine (100%)
