What about working on the DNS protocol provider we have in Directory? Let's grow community around this. The barrier of entry to existing ASF committers from MINA should be minimal.
What's the benefit of starting yet another DNS server effort? Furthermore are there issues with the DNS PP in Directory? Alex On 6/12/07, Norman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
