Looks like there are encoders for the most common stuff and I was able to do a quick little one off client that sends a request for an MX record. But there don't seem to be any decoders.
OK, my bad. As you can tell I haven't been in there in a while.
I'd also like to try and break it down a little bit more, because adding the dependency on the apacheds-protocol-dns artifact to my project pulled in quite a bit of other stuff (like shared-ldap, shared-asn1, antlr, jdbm). They're not really needed by someone just wanting to make use of the dns protocol codecs and I'd rather not have to do a done of exclusions to get it all back out.
Yeah, as a server plugin it was pretty functional but it does mean it has all the deps of the Directory core. All those deps should be behind JNDI; at a minimum, they are all related to some store interface.
Would you mind too much if I tried my hand at doing a little refactoring? There are some things I'd like to add, such as convenience methods for creating different types of DnsMessage objects (it took me quite a while to track down all the parameters I had to set for the constructor, I'd rather not have to do that again ;).
I wouldn't mind at all. In fact, it would be great. Enrique
