Avahi doesn't work for IPv6 link-local addresses and GLIBC doesn't even allow 
nss-mdns to work. This only works with FreeBSD libc and patched Avahi/nss-mdns.

See:

http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14413

By default, Avahi doesn't work for IPv6 at all, as Lennart swithed it back to 
IPv4-only.

This is what one of the next features will be about:

But I can't fix all of that myself and do my regular work in just one release 
:).

Cheers,
