I disagree. If the updates are frequent, this makes a lot of work for
every other machine on the LAN to update their mDNSResponder caches.
If they're updating every second, then yes, TXT records would be
inappropriate. But Randall didn't say whether the updates were that
frequent.
I would expect maybe 5-10 over a 2-3 minute period, and then a
downtime of about the same; lather, rinse, repeat for several hours at
a time. Does that fall within some definition of "frequent"?
Randall mentioned that there's really only going to be one listener,
so why make it everyone else's problem?
Did he? In the original message he says "remote apps" (plural). When
I hear "notification", I think of a to-many broadcast, not a point-
to-point message.
Yes, currently in practice it'll probably be one-to-one, but I'm
writing for the future possibilities.
