In my use case I am instantiating an MQTT client at a time where I may not be able to connect to the internet yet. This is causing me problems because MqttNetworkChannel attempts to resolve the configured hostname to an IP address during construction.
By deferring the domain resolution to connection time I am able to keep queuing messages with a disconnected client on one thread, while making connection attempts on another thread, without needing to new up an MQTT client on each attempt, dropping my message queue.
I also see someone else is running into the same problem here: #119
