Hi, everyone,
I have a single computer that serves DNS and which I would also like to
use to publish an Avahi service (the router administration page) on
behalf of my router (which can't do so on its own). That computer seems
to be capable of publishing an Avahi service advertising the web service
running on itself, but when I try the following to publish the router
administration page, I get an error (which I've mentioned below) :
<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?>
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">
<service-group>
<name>Router Administration</name>
<service>
<host-name>router.lan</host-name>
<type>_http._tcp.</type>
<port>80</port>
<txt-record>path=/</txt-record>
</service>
</service-group>
The error:
Failed to resolve service 'Router Administration' of type '_http._tcp'
in domain 'local': Timeout reached
I have tried adding a <domain-name>.lan</domain-name> to the 'service'
element because it seemed (according to the man page¹) that this would
help but then the service is no longer published (or at least, I cannot
see it any more). I use the following command from my laptop to see what
services are published (and also use BonjourFoxy, a Firefox extension):
avahi-browse-domains -a -t -r
I am told it is possible for me to achieve this by moving mdns to the
end in the nsswitch.conf 'hosts' parameter, but I would prefer to be
able to set this up so that these services are automatically discovered
by any zeroconf-enabled computer that gets on the network.

Thanks for your time,
