To the extent that it's unsuited for multi-link topologies, a BoF has been approved to discuss problems and requirements. I hope that folks interested in a DNS-based solution to service discovery and naming will join the mdnsext mailing list. I have nothing wrong with littleconf per se, but there seems to me a chicken and egg problem: how does one engage a device (presumably running a web-based UI) initially in order to administer it? Is that by address or by name?
