Fork it? Is there another library we can go with?
I don't know.. that's why I asked :-) Btw in the MINA list I started a thread about the asynchronous DNS client needs and I found interests. It seems that currently the MINA PMC is discussing about the opportunity to create a new sandbox inside mina for this very purpose. At least 4-5 developers declared their interest in producing something dnsjava-derived/dnsjava-inspired inside the ASF with the ASLv2 license: we will also ask Brian Welligton if he is willing to contribute/collaborate to this "community" effort. In the mean time Brian closed the 2 issues (maybe someone with more charisma than me pinged him ;-) or maybe he decided to go fast because he was worried by the fork ideas): 1) fixed and committed, telling that in the next few days he will create a new release.. (let's hope) 2) fixed as won't fix: and I'm now fighting the SPF spec people to make them change the spec (or at least relax the testsuite) so we can pass the SPF tests without this fix. I have had a partial result (one of the council member agreed that he didn't notice the DNS issue and that the testsuite should probably be changed, one is against any change). I will keep you updated on the MINA and SPF ongoing discussions.
