Re: MX lookup problems

[Andrew H. <aa...@vo...>]

Thanks for the response.  Just so I'm sure I understand what you're 
saying about CNAMEs and getAnyRecord, could the code I showed before be 
rewritten as:

boolean checkDomain(String domain) {
  if (dns.getAnyRecords(domain, Type.MX) == null) {
    // no MX records, check for A
    if (dns.getAnyRecords(domain, Type.A) == null) {
      return false;
    }
  }
  
  return true;
}


The only difference being that the traversal is depth-first in this 
case, so to speak.

In any case, it looks like I'll have to implement the timeout myself.

Thanks,

Andrew
