I would definitely like to see a TLP called Apache DNS that produces a client and server. One option for the server could be to plugin to the Apache Directory for doing resolutions, but there definitely needs to be a greater level of abstraction than there is now.
The protocol-dns store should be pretty separable today. We identified an issue with transitive deps, but we addressed it within the last 3 weeks. There should only be trivial deps on other Directory artifacts, if any. Most of the deps come from simply using Directory parent POMs, which makes sense for us, of course, since we know our impl will be using our Directory back-end. In any case, with a move to MINA and breaking from the Directory parent POM, it should be easy to make this lightweight. Because the Directory deps are behind the store interface (RecordStore), the server-side handler could go to MINA for those that want a lighter server. Though, it's not much code and, therefore, it might not be worth attempting to make a one-size-fits-all server handler. In any case, the focus should be on the asynch client since that is the most pressing need. Enrique
