Oh really? I am a bit involved in production of certain Linux products called "Fedora" and "RHEL" and I know for sure that neither installs bind by default. Why should it? > any "client " could turn into a "wide area server" with a charm . Uh? Why would you want to do that? Also, you need a lot of non-trivial configuration to set up a bind server. Both on the server itself and on others to actually make your new srver known. I really don't get what you plan to do. >> The only distuingishing part between normal mDNS/DNS-SD and wide-area >> DNS-SD is whether we use a central server or not.

Grepping for "Bonjour" shows me however that they use Bonjour for initial discovery of local services. They don't use no wide-area DNS-SD.
