We have it enabled with no issues.
The only concerns we have is security with inter device communication
like Itunes libraries and other shares being visible. Not everyone
secures their stuff with a password, so there is some user education to
go with it.
plus there's wide area bonjour if you need it to work across subnets.
There are ways to make these toys work, it's not ideal though.

You could enable multicast on the controller only. Generally, APs in
the same building should reside on the same controller. This would
allow the devices to discover each other via MDNS port 5353. Once the
discovery takes place all other traffic is unicast TCP.

I can see only two other options...
1. You get or force , if possible, both devices on the same
vlan/network broadcast domain.
2. Setup an adhoc network for the task.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] KeyNote Remote on Cisco LWAPP
I have a professor trying to use their iPod to remotely control their
iPad in the classroom. It works fine on a test Netgear wireless router
I have for testing. However it does not work on any of the WLANs I
have configured for campus use. Doing a little research, it appears
that this application requires multicast to be enabled? I currently do
not have multicast enabled. Does anyone have experience with this? Any
solutions that don't require enabling multicast?
Thank you.
