[Ruby] DNSSD questions

[Alex Vollmer]

Any of you smart fellers out there worked with DNSSD? I'm trying to  
run a simple discovery thread and, at work, the loop exits with an  
ArgumentError and the message "buffer contains invalid text record  
(ArgumentError)". After trolling the mailing list it appears that it's  
the result of some wonky DNS record somebody is returning. So clearly  
I want to guard against this, but no amount of begin/rescue is  
preventing this from exiting. The code looks kinda like:

         DNSSD.browse("_http._tcp") do |reply|
           begin
             DNSSD.resolve reply.name, reply.type, reply.domain do | 
resolve_reply|
	      # do stuff here
               # ...
             end
           rescue ArgumentError
             # usually a jacked DNS text record
           end
         end

I also tried moving the begin/rescue block into the call to  
DNSSD.resolve, but to no avail. Any ideas or suggestions? Am I missing  
something painfully obvious (likely)?

TIA,

Alex V.
