If you mean an implementation of Wide-Area DNS Services Discovery then yes, but most of the zero-conf implementations and the applications using this have ignored anything but mDNS and Link-Local DNS Services Discovery. The real issue is that end-users and even IT Executives (CIOs, etc...) don't see why there should be any difference between what they can do and use at home and in the office. If they can do wiz-bang-thing at home they want to do it in the office. Right now mDNS and Link-Local DNS Services Discovery are critical to how many of these consumer devices, or the Internet-of-things that some people call it, make the wiz-bang-things work. I apologize to Apple, but to really make this clear I have to call them out. The driver behind the petition is a specific case of what I generically described above. Users and IT Executives in Higher Ed wanted to be able to use AirPlay Screen Mirroring to Apple TVs from iOS and now Mountain Lion Laptops on the campus network. Not only was this an idea they came up with but, Apple even had an TV ad campaign promoting the idea. To be honest as a network engineer its very much an uphill battle when your arguing against a multi-million dollar TV ad campaign. :( So you hear a bunch of us pushing to solve this with network hacks, or mDNS hacks. Not because we think it is really the right way, but because the network is what we can effect, its the levers we can control. The applications and wiz-bang-thing devices are out of our control and, right or wrong, we have had exceptions placed on us to make them work on our networks. So, while it may not be the right thing, I need a way to make normal mDNS and Link-Local DNS Services Discovery work on my network. Which consists of multiple segments and the services the users want may or may not exist on the same segment. Fundamentally, this is either a symptom of the success of mDNS and Link-Local DNS Services Discovery or a failure to think through the consequences of not including broader scalability in the original solution, take your pick. So while we need the better DNS tool you refer to, we also need solutions that work with the applications and wiz-bang-thing devices that are out there now. -- ================================================ David Farmer Email: farmer@umn.edu Office of Information Technology University of Minnesota 2218 University Ave SE Phone: 1-612-626-0815 Minneapolis, MN 55414-3029 Cell: 1-612-812-9952 ================================================
