Re: mDNS across subnets?



Hi Josh,

It depends if you are on the same broadcast domain or not, if its two
subnets on the same "switching fabric" then it should work fine (at
least with Avahi[0], not sure with Bonjour but I think it's OK too)

The second solution, if they are on different networks, is to use a
mDNS/DNS-SD "reflector", Avahi[0] has this functionality, I'm not sure of
any other projects that do, I do not beleive that bonjour does at this
time.  This requires a machine that is physically connected to both
networks, running the avahi reflector.

The third solution is to make use of wide-area mDNS, this is something I
have no experience with.

Cheers,
Trent
