Thanks Jason, that's a clearer answer than I was writing. Clearpass isn't just an mDNS reflector like avahi, its actual policy based control of mDNS/Bonjour devices. I believe it involves active manipulation of the AP configurations, not just controller based - it would have to since you can limit what devices a user sees, based on location as well as role. Or at least that what my boss was sold on.
The core problem for us is to allow idiot resistant, cross platform wireless screen sharing between projectors and laptops. AppleTVs with a third party app for Windows machines does this, but uses bonjour which of course should have no place on a non-home network. We haven't found anything else that works as well.
