The avahi-daemon should provide local network name resolution, for example my
pc is desktop.localdomain and my laptop is laptop.localdomain, on each I can
simply ping desktop.local or laptop.local

basically its just the first part followed by .local

my hostname could be foo.example and I would ping foo.local from another
machine on my network

hope that helps
