Package: avahi-daemon Version: 0.6.16-2 Severity: wishlist
hallo, please supply a way to disable the checks for .local unicast domains and disabling avahi if one is found - more important a way to skip the tedious multi second delays when interfaces are not connected to the network yet, but they are "ifupped". (perhaps with a setting in /etc/default/avahi-daemon if you don't want to change the default behaviour) I am using avahi-daemon on a laptop with mostly static ip setups, together with ifscheme to switch to the location where I am currently. At hibernate time, my wireless lan interface if brough down with ifdown (which stops wpa_supplicant) and the ugly binary ipw3945-daemon is stopped, too. At wakeup time, the daemon is started again (reinitializing my wireless card), followed by a ifup - but it naturally has now an interface setting which will 95% of the time not match the wireless settings of the new location, resulting in the "host" dns-lookup taking multiple settings until timeout. At the ifscheme time switching to the new ip setup I will have to wait again, the host lookup needs to time out until the new wpa connection has been established, delaying the startup of my vpn connections. Second at boottime, my laptop starts with an ethernet setup of my home lan - but when booting without being at home or without the ethernet cable connected I have to wait, too, for the f*cking dns-lookup to timeout. As I don't care about any .local unicast domains which may exist and am happy if they are overridden by avahi all the time, please support a way to get fast bootup and network-switching back.
