Re: Help on Wide Area Bonjour

Kiren,

What I found in my tests is that, when I enter a hostname like "mars.bonjour.effigent.com" in Bonjour preference pane, unless the name "mars.bonjour.effigent.com" is resolved by a DNS, on the preference panel it doesn't turn green. Since, in my setup, I don't have a DNS that actually maps "mars.bonjour.effigent.com" to a ip in my local network, I want to add a address record to my bonjour server.But to be able to do that, I need a WAN ip but what All I have is a local ip!. To be more specific,

- my bonjour server is bonjour.effigent.com which is in my ISP network
- I have a machine that will run 'Registering" application on my local network that is behind a NAT gateway! and this machine I want to name as mars.bonjour.effigent.com
- Now I want to add a address record to my bonjour server so that mars.bonjour.effigent.com maps to a valid ip
mars A <ip>

What ip will I use in the above address record since what all I have is a local ip address of mars. Or should I setup a local DNS server and set that as one of my forwarders in bonjour server?

Regards
Ulag

If you are behind a NAT which supports UPnP, enter the hostname in the Bonjour Preference Pane and Bonjour will take care of the NAT traversal for you. Most newer gateways support UPnP, though often you need to manually enable it.

Bonjour experts,

I have been trying to setup wide area bonjour . I have following setup

1. A Bonjour server setup at my ISP
2. I can dig for my domain and able to get reply.
3. I can also get dns-sd to show the services

Now the problem I have is, I have a Java application that will register a Bonjour service with the Bonjour server above.
For my java application to register a service, I understand that the host name of the machine that is running that application must be reachable on a Wide area network. To expose the hostname to wide area network, I could add a address record to my Bonjour server itself. But, the machine that I am using to run that Java application is not directly visible on Wide Area Network. That machine is behind a router with NAT capabilities. How do I add a address record to bonjour server so that it eventually points to the internal ip of my machine. I know this is not a bonjour question. But any help would certainly be useful!

Regards
Ulag
