What's worse is when you start having tens or hundreds of these devices
on the network - it'd be very easy to fat-finger and Airplay to the
wrong one. Thinking about wide-area DNS-SD, you could perhaps use DHCP
option 82 to publish subdomains for DNS-SD that only publishes Apple TVs
in the building of that AP or switch. I've no idea how you'd manage that
sort of mapping though, doing it manually is out of the question, is
there any software to manage that sort of thing?

Thanks,
