I'm currently at the SAGE-AU annual conference, and Apple presented a paper about their Rendezvous technology, which is their implementation of Zeroconf[1].
Is anyone working on getting Debian to do any of this sort of stuff? If not, I might look into spinning off a subproject. I don't think it would be significantly difficult to get parts of this working relatively quickly. Minor changes to ifupdown would allow for allocating an IP address without a HCP server, for example. [1] http://www.zeroconf.org
