Could you be more specific about the issue you had? FYI macOsX has exactly the same feature enabled by default, it's called "bonjour" and the process on OsX is mDNSResponder the .local is the default zeroconf domain, one common issue is that microsoft also recommend to use this domain "http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296250";, this clashes with zeroconf .local i think it's not specific to avahi, but to zeroconf and dns in general. > > I'm all for removing avahi.
