Would probably make some sense. Yes, I believe that is a missing feature. I think the idea of static service discovery via DNS servers is that the DHCP server can tell a client which DNS server and default zone to use, and the ZeroConf implementation (Avahi in this case) should search those default zones for services. This provides true client-side zero-configuration.
Currently I have worked around this in my client by manually parsing the /etc/resolve.conf for lines starting with "search" and "domain", and instructing the mDNS library (I'm using mDNSResponder right now) to search those domains, but I believe this feature should be built into the library. It certainly is already with Mac OS X and Bonjour for Windows. -Josh _______________________________________________ avahi mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/avahi
