This document specifies how DNS resource records are named and
structured to facilitate service discovery. Given a type of service
that a client is looking for, and a domain in which the client is
looking for that service, this mechanism allows clients to discover a list of
named instances of that desired service, using standard DNS queries.
This mechanism is referred to as DNS-based Service Discovery, or DNS-SD.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
