Hi Adam,
as far as I understand, if you perform lookup with the
AVAHI_LOOKUP_USE_WIDE_AREA flag (which maps to LookupUseWideArea in my
library), Avahi will use a "classical" unicast DNS instead of the mDNS.
So seems that everything is already in place and no additional effort is
required.

Hi Alexander,
Firstly, thank you for your work with Golang avahi bindings as well as
contributing to the improvement and clarity of Avahi API documentation!
I have been working in the area of unicast DNS-SD and we have a work-in-
progress prototype to allow decentralised unicast DNSSEC updates which
includes WA DNS-SD structures.
One core extension of our work could potentially be tighter integration
with Avahi. Avahi tools already support basic unicast browsing.
For example:
avahi-browse -batd zembla.zenr.io
+ n/a n/a floodgap _gopher._tcp
zembla.zenr.io
+ n/a n/a zembla _gopher._tcp
zembla.zenr.io
+ n/a n/a zembla _ssh._tcp
zembla.zenr.io
+ n/a n/a PTF Demo Day - DE _http._tcp
zembla.zenr.io
+ n/a n/a Freifunk Berlin _http._tcp
zembla.zenr.io
+ n/a n/a PTF Demo Day - EN _http._tcp
zembla.zenr.io
+ n/a n/a Freifunk - Free Networks _http._tcp
zembla.zenr.io
+ n/a n/a sig0namectl Homepage _http._tcp
zembla.zenr.io
+ n/a n/a Zembla Resource Map _http._tcp
zembla.zenr.io
+ n/a n/a Berlin - Official Website - EN _http._tcp
zembla.zenr.io
+ n/a n/a redb _loc._udp
redb.zenr.io
+ n/a n/a zembla _loc._udp
zembla.zenr.io
+ n/a n/a bluebox _loc._udp
bluebox.zenr.io
+ n/a n/a op6 _loc._udp
op6.zenr.io
+ n/a n/a cephalo13 _loc._udp
cephalo13.zenr.io
+ n/a n/a zembla _telnet._tcp
zembla.zenr.io
+ n/a n/a mapscii _telnet._tcp
zembla.zenr.io
Does your work currently extend into the unicast domain (pun intended)
as it is or would be easy to extend into?
Thanks & Regards,
Adam.

Hi,
My name is Alexander Pevzner, and I am the author of two widely
distributed projects: sane-airscan (a "driverless" driver for SANE
scanners) and ipp-usb (a daemon for IPP-over-USB printer support).
Both projects utilize Avahi extensively.
I am excited to announce the release of a new Golang binding for Avahi:
https://github.com/alexpevzner/go-avahi
This binding aims to closely mirror the original C API, with a few
exceptions:
- It reports events via Go channels instead of callbacks, which is
more idiomatic in Golang.
- It follows Go naming conventions (e.g., NewAddressResolver vs.
avahi_address_resolver_new).
- It provides an automatic workaround for Avahi issues related to
localhost and loopback address handling.
- It implies the AVAHI_CLIENT_NO_FAIL mode.
Additionally, I have made an effort to create comprehensive
documentation for the Avahi API:
https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/alexpevzner/go-avahi
Since the Go API implemented in this package closely resembles the
original C API, this documentation may also be useful for users of
other programming languages.
