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.

A future one. And if its a lot of work, perhaps never!

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