Possibility to extend the Zone class

[Lucas F. <li...@sa...>]

Hello,

I am working on a project based on dnsjava (actually, I am trying to
extend Eagle DNS) and need to publish a zone which is too big too fit
in memory, so I need to extend the Zone class.

While woking on this, I am having problems because the Zone
findRecords method must return a SetResponse object. Unfortunately,
the SetResponse constructors and set methods are only available inside
the org.xbill.DNS package, which makes it impossible to extend the
Zone class without altering the dnsjava jar file.

So, I have a couple of questions/suggestions:

1. Is it possible to make dnsjava more extensible by providing Zone as
an interface, so users may provide their own Zone implementations?

2. Is it possible to make the SetResponsible constructors and setters
available to external classes?

Thanks,

Lucas
