Having just done the same thing myself, a generalized version/framework
would be nice. I have the code for listening to both the UDP and TCP
sides. I also used dnsjava for the line level and message encoding stuff
with dnsjnio's async lookup. Sounds like we're all fairly close to each
other.

Moreover, we will do our best to implement such a codec in joint with
existing project team (or author) such as dnsjava. For example, we
could reuse dnsjava's DNS message model and encoding/decoding code,
and provide its simple wrapper for MINA, which is a very thin
integration layer. As for AsyncWeb, I agree with you, and the same
approach can be applied to it too like we are going to do with DNS
once it goes TLP since its growth.
However, if there's no Java protocol codec implementation and MINA
needs to provide integration with the protocol, MINA team could
provide the codec if there are *enough* people who are interested in
it.
For Apache JAMES jSPF library (http://james.apache.org/jspf/index.html)
we're using a combination of a patched dnsjava and the trunk dnsjnio
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/dnsjnio) library.
We did this when moving to an asynchronous model for our SPF (DNS) lookups.
As we currently depend on a "not-so-frequently-updated" (dnsjava)
library (and we are waiting for bugs to be fixed) and on
"not-so-widely-adopted" MPL licensed library (dnsjnio) I many times
considered starting a MINA-DNS library based on core dnsjava tokens.
I think that an asynchronous DNS library should be part of MINA core as
many protocols require DNS lookups before connecting.
Unfortunately I have limite knowledge of both the DNS protocol and MINA
so I would like to help but I currently cannot afford the full project
alone. If I had a guide between mina experts to help me with the main
architecture I could try to start wiring up some code.
Is anyone interested?
