This is an issue with avahi's mdns tying names to mac addresses, and this being a routed, rather than bridged, network. It's actually a flaw in mdns's design which I hope will be worked on in the new dnsext working group at the ietf. There are worse issues with mdns than this in a routed environment. >> Thanks, >> Shannon >> _______________________________________________ >> Cerowrt-devel mailing list >> [email protected] >> https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/cerowrt-devel > _______________________________________________ > Cerowrt-devel mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/cerowrt-devel -- Dave Täht Fixing bufferbloat with cerowrt: http://www.teklibre.com/cerowrt/subscribe.html _______________________________________________ Cerowrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.bufferbloat.net/listinfo/cerowrt-devel
