The DNS lookup functions given by InetAddress
are too limited. There is no access to any other
type of DNS entries, such as MX records, TXT
records, etc.
Also, there is no API to get the configured DNS
servers. Thus a user cannot even write its own
DNS lookup library to query for those extended
items.

NOTE: The existence of such full-fledged DNS will
also imply a full-fledged cache, which can also
comply with DNS TTL values. Thus InetAddress
cache can use this same cache system
(this is the solution I suggest for my previous
Bug report, regarding InetAddress DNS lookup)
