While I appreciate the effort, I'm curious why you didn't join Marco 
Ceresa's project instead of creating your own project.  I also wonder if 
creating yet another DNS library (dnsruby) is really a good idea (too 
many choices).  Would a dnsruby really any better *in practice*?  Why 
not just refactor pnet-dns to incorporate the best of dnsjava?
