Bug Description
mDNSResponder is part of Apple's Bonjour project. http://
It was previously rejected by Debian due to license issues (it was APSL), however the license has now been changed to Apache 2 (with some parts Three Clause BSD/Three Clause BSD like). See http://
It provides multicast DNS and DNS service discovery (mDNS/DNS-SD) but has some differences to Avahi.
* it has support for Java
* it has support for Wide-Area DNS publishing and browsing (Avahi only supports Wide-Area browsing at this stage).
* it includes the source for dnsextd: The 'BIND Extension Daemon' that runs alongside BIND9 and implements two EDNS0 extensions
to the standard DNS protocol, namely Dynamic DNS Update Leases and DNS Long-Lived Queries. This daemon would be
complementary to both Avahi and mDNSResponder.
The current stable version of mDNSResponder is listed as v107.6, however newer versions are available at http://
For information on Zeroconf including mDNS and DNS-SD, see http://
