Well, if the mac util dns-sd can browse a specific multicast address (dns-sd -B 225_0_10_100._ftp._tcp) then I would expect that it's a zeroconf functionality. They did came up initially with zeroconf, right?
But nevermind, I guess I'll have to snoop the multicast address myself. -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Namens Lennart Poettering Verzonden: maandag 16 maart 2009 17:03 Aan: [email protected] Onderwerp: Re: [avahi] browsing for services on a specific multicast address On Mon, 16.03.09 13:46, Alon Noy ([email protected]) wrote: > > I don't have any documentation to contribute but I can explain the > logic: > A large amount of file servers (it's not really ftp) are being split > into clusters, when a file is added to one server in the cluster it is > being replicated on different nodes within the cluster (for availability > and backup).

No. The mdns spec only defines 224.0.0.251 as mDNS multicast group and that's why we use it. I see no reason to support a different address. I am sorry, but I don't really understand what you are trying to do. I kind of get the feeling you are misusing the mcast functionality for something where VLANs should be used instead.
