Right, but we have installed base.
Based upon comments in Jabber yesterday, I think that the right way is
for fridge.local mDNS to return a series of SRV records in the
additional information, one of which would contain a FQDN (having a GUA)
for the fridge, if it had one.
I don't know exactly what that would look like, but it seems like the
right process: discovery gives us a name, and the name is sometimes a
FQDN. That would also have solved Stuart's problem printing to
bluehawaii, had his laptop CUPS bookmarked bluehawaii.apple.com rather
than bluehawaii.local (nothing that bluehawaii.apple.com works just fine
when in the office)
