I'm relatively new to Avahi and have a problem, I cannot fix. Maybe
someone can help me along.
I have a machine using 2 different IP addresses on the same network
interface (eth0), a static one and one LL assigned by avahi-autoipd:
> ifconfig
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.50.103 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
192.168.50.255
inet6 fe80::20b:e0ff:fef0:ed prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>
ether 00:0b:e0:f0:00:ed txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 364526 bytes 50473403 (48.1 MiB)

eth0:avahi: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 169.254.10.61 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 169.254.255.255
ether 00:0b:e0:f0:00:ed txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 16436
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10<host>
loop txqueuelen 0 (Local Loopback)
RX packets 24 bytes 2320 (2.2 KiB)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 24 bytes 2320 (2.2 KiB)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
Apparently Avahi only uses the first one for discovery . With
avahi-browse I only find hosts accessible via the static address. But if
I remove the IP for eth0 and keep the one for eth0:avahi, discovery in
the LL network works.
I wonder if, Avahi does this on purpose? Is there a way to make Avahi do
discovery on both addresses?
