DNS Resolver

A DNS resolver, written entirely in Java and not relying on any underlying OS resolver, was implemented as part of the JAMS mail server project.   Work on this project has now stopped as a much more complete resolver (dnsjava) has been written by Brian Wellington.  The resolver was started in the autumn of 1998 and what follows is a brief history.
