Stefano Bagnara resolved JAMES-302:
-----------------------------------

    Fix Version: 2.1.3
     Resolution: Fixed

From the Steve comment I understand this issue is resolved.

> Functionality of org.apache.james.dnsserver.DNSServer.getByName(String) is not \
>                 symetric to java.net.InetAddress.getByName(String)
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>  
> Key: JAMES-302
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-302
> Project: James
> Type: Bug
> Components: DNSServer
> Versions: 2.2.0
> Environment: Tested on WIN2000, JDK 1.4.1_01-b01
> Reporter: Steve Brewin
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.1.3

> 
> org.apache.james.dnsserver.DNSServer.getByName(String) does not always return the \
> same result as java.net.InetAddress.getByName(address). Sometimes an exception is \
> thrown when the standard implementation does not. When passed a fully qualified \
> domain name the results are the same. When passed a hostname or the special name \
> 'localhost', a java.net.UnknownHostException is thrown by \
> org.apache.james.dnsserver.DNSServer while java.net.InetAddress resolves the \
> addresses correctly. This is a critical issue as in v2.2.0 \
> java.net.InetAddress.getByName() has pretty thoroughly been replaced by \
> org.apache.james.dnsserver.DNSServer.getByName(), but in the noted circumstances it \
> doesn't perform the same. Dependent code breaks. Here are the contrasting \
> examples... // FAILS
> String address = "localhost";
> java.net.InetAddress inetAddress = \
> org.apache.james.dnsserver.DNSServer.getByName(address); return inetAddress;
> // FAILS
> String address = "hostname";
> java.net.InetAddress inetAddress = \
> org.apache.james.dnsserver.DNSServer.getByName(address); return inetAddress;
> // SUCCEEDS
> String address = "localhost";
> java.net.InetAddress inetAddress = java.net.InetAddress.getByName(address);
> return inetAddress;
> // SUCCEEDS
> String address = "hostname";
> java.net.InetAddress inetAddress = java.net.InetAddress.getByName(address);
> return inetAddress;
