FYI multicast would help us do DHCP with MINA correctly over at Directory. Plus a slew of other protocols can also benefit. I'd love to see something along these lines happening in the trunk for a 2.0 release.
Mike, this might sound like a crazy idea but perhaps the fact that it cannot presently be done with NIO in pre-1.7 JDKs can be abstracted away. So when the right JDK or APR based MINA delegates are present the NIO based capability can be triggered? Until then can't this be mimiced?
