I need to implement a system where I can verify the number of running
copies of my app on a local network against a site license. I thought
DO might be a good way to implement this.

Consider using just Bonjour for this -- with careful implementation of the name and type service strings, you can probably get what you want with no DO at all.


The essence will be embedding a license code into the "type" field, then counting the number of eligible services based on that "type". The "name" field should be unique on the local subnet.

You can skip the resolution phase.

You would probably end up using Bonjour with DO anyway -- this just eliminates the DO part.

Don't forget to un-publish your app when it quits.
