Fair enough.

Hi Aaron,
The James DNSServer class has a custom Comparator and does the ordering. It
returns an ordered list.

I completely agree with Serge with respect to list vs collection. His
comments are, in fact, not open to disagreement. They are technical
facts.
However, I wonder if it might not be better to use a SortedSet to hold the
MX records. Are we certain that returning a correctly ordered list is
actually in the DNS server's contract? (Rather than just happening to be
the behaviour of the ones we test against?) If we use SortedSet, with a
custom Comparator, we can guarantee the correct ordering ourselves.
If the DNS rfc states that the ordering MUST be correct (not SHOULD or
MAY)
then a java.util.List is fine. Otherwise I believe that a
java.util.SortedSet is required.
