BTW this seems to be a problem of ETHERNET bridging (by inspecting the mac address on Layer-2 packets) for QEMU. If nobody else has succeeded at this already, then I will be investigating & report any findings back here.
Plus the host ip and gateway info in the emulator's rc config files needs to then match the real LAN router / ip gatway device. There is 1 good tutorial for that on the web. So in theory... It would still be nice hear from anyone here who is interested with multicast DNS / bonjour on the emultor.
