OpenBSD mdnsd missing or delayed service discovery



Hi,

I'm writing a multi-threaded networking application using mDNSResponder-107.6 on OpenBSD 4.0 and have some intermittent problem with some service announcements not been reported (e.g. when using dns-sd -B). Same application works fine on OS/X Tiger and FreeBSD 4.1. It might be related to a problem with OpenBSD, as discovered with pcap (pcap_loop blocking threads) and related select(), see below.

I tested this on OpenBSD 3.8 and 4.0. Both OS have the same problem.

I did apply the patch recently shown on this mailing list about getting old/stale records delivered. That fix helped me with that problem.

Is this by any chance a known issue and is there a fix, ev in the CVS tree?

Thanks

Marcel

"Note that in some systems with BPF (older versions of {Free,Net,Open,Dragonfly}BSD, current versions of Mac OS X), select() (and poll()) don't work correctly on BPF devices, and so you have to work around that. (Note also that poll() doesn't work on *ANY* character special file, including BPF devices but also including ttys/ ptys, in OS X 10.4[.x], i.e. Tiger.)"
