That is fine, you can use dnsjava from an Apache licensed library. However, if you, or a consumer of your library, distribute a dnsjava.jar, you need to ship the license file (https://github.com/dnsjava/dnsjava/blob/master/LICENSE) along with it. This is similar to the requirement of the Apache 2 license.
