I have been a casual scanner of this issue and am not a DNS expert, so I may not have understood all of the issues. I was thinking of having the DNS Manager use DNSJava as in RC2 but adding the option to be more lenient, ie: more java.net like. That is if, and only if, it does not compromise James. This would allow operation in scenarios where DNS is workable, but less than perfectly configured. > For which release? A future one.

When I get a moment I'll play around with the code samples and see if I can see any light.
