Does nss-mdns support mDNS?
WARNING: No NSS support for mDNS detected, consider installing nss-mdns! I am using avahi for zero-conf networking. I have cross compiled it for the mips.
Which libnss_mdns4 to use with mDNS?
Due to the fact that most mDNS responders only register local IPv4 addresses via mDNS, most people will want to use libnss_mdns4.so.2 exclusively.
Can mDNS be used for labels other than local?
Any domain, with any number of labels, (including .local) will still be served authoritatively from nss-mdns if specified in /etc/mdns.allow .) nss-mdns has a simple configuration file /etc/mdns.allow for enabling name lookups via mDNS in other domains than .local.
