| Hmm. It appears they do the same thing, or close to it. Thanks.
dns-sd -B _afpovertcp._tcp. local.
mdns -B _afpovertcp._tcp. local.
But in the docs, it says this: The dns-sd command replaces the older mDNS(1) command.
So, it's good that now I'll be using the most updated command. Thanks Joe.

Notice how one machine has been added three times.
What would be awesome is if I could get it iPods on bonjour as well. Of course, that leads me to Erica Sadun who has gotten bonjour on the iPhone/iPad.
Cheers.

Obviously, 'man dns-sd' will explain it far better than I.
This is from the man page OMM, 10.7.3: dns-sd(1) BSD General Commands Manual dns-sd(1)
NAME
dns-sd -- Multicast DNS (mDNS) & DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD) Test Tool
SYNOPSIS
dns-sd -R name type domain port [key=value ...]
dns-sd -B type domain
dns-sd -L name type domain
DESCRIPTION
The dns-sd command is a network diagnostic tool, much like ping(8) or
traceroute(8). However, unlike those tools, most of its functionality is
not implemented in the dns-sd executable itself, but in library code that
is available to any application. The library API that dns-sd uses is
documented in /usr/include/dns_sd.h. The dns-sd command replaces the
older mDNS(1) command.
The dns-sd command is primarily intended for interactive use. <SNIP>
