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)

This sounds like a viable option, though I'm not 100% sure what 'switching fabric' means. I'm not very up on high-end network topology theory. All I know is that we sometimes install our software at customer sites where our servers run on one subnet, and our clients run on the customers wireless network, which is a separate subnet (but probably goes through the same switching hardware).


For example:

172.16.1.0/24 <- Runs server, broadcasts an mdns service
172.16.2.0/24 <- Wireless, runs clients, looking for services on 172.16.1.0


Is there something we can tell our customer as a 'system specification' to ensure clients on 172.16.2.0 will see the services in 172.16.1.0?
