It's still correct and we'll be really glad if someone wants to
implement it. Implementing a new transport type ( i.e. multicast) is
to implement IoAcceptor and IoConnector interface. Please refer to
the implementation classes such as DatagramAcceptor and
DatagramConnector.
I didn't consider broadcasting at the moment I designed MINA API, so
you might have to modify the API to support broadcasting thoroughly.
It's OK of course. I think we need to support multicast before we
release 1.0 for the completeness of the API.
Agreed would be nice to have multicast for DHCP server implementation
within ApacheDS soon so development on that can continue. This is a
big wish :).

Thanks to all for your input. I'll hopefully find time to have a look at
this stuff some time next week. But don't hold your breath for a fully
functioning DHCP server :-/
