a question here: would it be an option to rename the default domain avahi-daemon uses to register? By default it gets to be .local (see /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf).
This also bothered me, even more because the surge on '.local' started after Microsoft suggested its use for internal address spaces (if I remember correctly, at the time of w2k). But, after I renamed the avahi domain, I did not have problems anymore. I still think the default domain should be something different -- like, for example, 'avahi-local'. -- Avahi behaves badly where there is a unicast .local-domain. https://launchpad.net/bugs/83468 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
