Great :-) I will add this link to KDE Zeroconf wiki page.
But there is one thing unclear to me: let's say user selected 'example.com' as
one of browsing domains. It contains record:
db._dns-sd._udp.example.com. 3600 IN PTR bonjour.example.com.

so new domain 'bonjour.example.com' will be discovered. Now if
bonjour.example.com contains

db._dns-sd._udp.bonjour.example.com. 3600 IN PTR other.example.com.

then should it be used and 'other.example.com' should be added to browsing
domains? For KDE 3.4 i made this process recursive but i'm not completely
sure about it.

This is a good question. Currently if a client learns about "example.com" from DHCP, it will then send queries to the example.com domain, and assuming it contains your record above, the client will learn about "bonjour.example.com." as a default browse domain. However, in the current release of Tiger and Bonjour for Windows, it will not recursively browse for domains in "bonjour.example.com". If you'd like your clients to also learn about "other.example.com.", then you'll need to add it to the "example.com" zone file.

We'll consider the implications of doing this recursively, but off the top of my head, I can see where this could result in a lot of additional queries being sent, which might quickly spiral out of control.

Best Regards,

-Marc
