Hi all.

I ran into a issue, as described at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51501

This behaviour is not a bug. It's a side-effect of how MDNS is (intentionally) designed.

Your bug report states that the callback is not called. It will in fact be called, it just takes a long time.



I followed these steps ::

a)
I changed the values to

                                 #define AVAHI_DEFAULT_TTL_HOST_NAME (20)
#define AVAHI_DEFAULT_TTL (20)

This is a pretty bad idea as these records will need to be refreshed at 17 second intervals.

Some people already consider mDNS to be a "chatty" protocol [1]. This kind of thing just exacerbates the problem.
