Just wanted to add a note about this: if you’re using Multicast DNS (mDNS) it’s 
entirely legal and perhaps even expected that the same name will resolve to 
different hosts on separate links. See 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_DNS 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_DNS>

In basic usage mDNS handles link-local resolution and conflict handling, but it 
also supports non-local usage models.

I don’t think there’s a publicly available mDNS implementation for lwIP, but 
writing one isn’t terribly complicated.

regards,
        Mikael
