Hi,
We have Cisco wireless and are currently dev'ing up the bonjour gateway service release in 7.4. I know other vendors have similar workaround features and am interested see how people have gone with it, keen to hear from users of other vendors as well. So far it all seems to work as advertised, was pretty easy setup with good control over what services you advertise. However I find there to be a lack of location control, and would like to know if anyone has implemented ways to control the location where the advertisements go. For something like this we'd like to restrict the advertisements to location by building/level/room/AP, it will help it scale better for users devices when scrolling through the list of available devices to connect to like an Apple TV. Users in building 1 don't need to see an Apple TV in a meeting room in building 2. Using separate SSID's is also not really a scalable solution... though does work of course with a dedicated subnet and multicast enabled. We currently don't have building based networks, which would be one way to control advertisements. This is something we are planning, but are a while off yet, also the ability to go more granular than just buildings would be useful. I've started a conversation with our local Cisco office, but am interested see what others may have done or believe could be useful for this.
