             Project: Commons Net
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Nikolay Chugunov


Hi all,
I developed DNS methods for resolving IP address by host name and vice verse; 
receiving mail exchange and authoritative name servers for domain; and 
receiving other information about domain from DNS server.

JDK provides above functionality in JNDI DNS service provider [1]. But JNDI 
technology is too abstract and obfuscates communication with DNS servers, which 
leads to users don't use JNDI DNS SP.

Attached classes provide evident API for receiving information from DNS server 
as wrapper for JNDI DNS SP. Also these classes provide necessary additional 
parsing of answers.

Examples how to use created API can be found in DNSClientTest unit test. This 
library requires only JDK and JUnit to run the test.
