It's a shame that it would make the examples difficult to grok but doing the
right thing in the examples is probably the right thing.

I was looking at dnsjava (which seems to be as old as time)  ... I'll have
to take a look at this.

 We have the need for a decent HTTP proxy for some internal stuff here at
work and we aren't really happy with Node.js or tinyproxy or the other
options.

Doing something like this in netty would be straight forward but I'd want it
to do DNS, etc correctly.
