over in james, we have some useful DNS client code. sufficiently useful for the qpid to enquire about the possibility of sharing it: http://markmail.org/thread/u4n4q5f2q7wyq2vf. i think it should probably be in scope for commons-net, though DNS is not (at the moment) a supported protocol.
there are some wrinkles (aren't there always?) in that the code in question has been rewritten for 3.x to use a separate DNS service to avoid know limitations of the java DNS client implementation. it uses http://sourceforge.net/projects/dnsjava/ (unfortunately this isn't very actively maintained). but the 2.x version is solid enough and is very suitable for a microlibrary i'd be willing to help out (if that'd be helpful) and possible a few other committers from james and qpid may be willing to help maintain this code as well. opinions? - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
