[ajug-members] DNS APIs

[Paul Bemowski]

I've used this, and it works great:
http://www.dnsjava.org/index.html

I start with something like this:
   /** */
   static final void initializeDNS(Vector dnsservers, int timeout)
      throws MalformedURLException, UnknownHostException {
      ExtendedResolver resolver=new ExtendedResolver();
      for (int i=0; i<dnsservers.size(); i++) {
         String server=(String)dnsservers.elementAt(i);
         resolver.addResolver(new SimpleResolver(server));
      }
      resolver.setTimeout(timeout);
      dns.setResolver(resolver);
   }


And later:
            mailExchangers=dns.getRecords(host, Type.MX);
