avahi-daemon is the thing that does multicast dns - right? I think
using mDNS is an accident waiting to happen. The other viewpoint
would be RFC 6762:
1. Introduction
Multicast DNS and its companion technology DNS-Based Service
Discovery [RFC6763] were created to provide IP networking with the
ease-of-use and autoconfiguration for which AppleTalk was well-known
[RFC6760].
