You could have some kind of magic name that identifies services, and has PTR records with host names in it. If that's not enough, you could have a magic "all current services" magic name, which would contain PTR records (or something similar to data) pointing to the previous records I mentioned. -- After all, you typically want the list of services/services when you want to do something (browse the net, play some music, etc.). That is, that of having to ask shouldn't be a problem -- and, actually, may probably scale easier/better than broadcasting stuff.
