Ping on hostname - InetAddress is now working

Submitted by hagar on Mon, 05/17/2004 - 08:57.

The java.net.InetAddress is now working and have been included in the ping command. Add a dns-server to the resolver: "resolver add IP-address" and "ping hostname".

The resolver is based on the dnsjava package, but with some small changes. I don't, at the moment, know where the updated source files should go, maybe into the jnode project or perhaps into the dnsjava project.

When using DHCP it now sets up the dns servers automatic.

Endorsed libraries

Since dnsjava is under Apache license we might be able to use the trick applied by SUN to include apache software into the JDK without the risc of nameclashes or version clashes.

The point would be to place the sources of the named library under the jnode source tree and prefix the package name with something distinctive like org.jnode resulting soemting liek org.jnode.org.apache.... . This should be easy with refactoring. This looks like a safe solution for me and allows changes too. I wonder waht is the opinion of Ewout.
