Multiline commands in do shell script

So I need to deal with a command that never exits, (mDNS to be precise) and
do shell script.

Because of the way mDNS works, even if I run it as this:

mDNS -B _ssh._tcp local. > ~/Desktop/mDNSService.txt &

I never return from the do shell script step. What I'd like to do is just
create a three - line shell script and run that, but have it live only in
the script itself...something like

do shell script "#!/bin/sh
mDNS -B _ssh._tcp local. > ~/Desktop/mDNSService.txt &
killall mDNS"

I know there's something stupid I'm missing here, but I can't quite figure
it out.

Ideas?

john
