I've been researching this issue for a while and can't find a solution - I'm 
hoping someone here can help, or at least confirm my fate.

I need to perform port mapping (UPnP / NAT-PMP) from within a Cocoa 
application. I've found several open source libraries in addition to dns_sd 
that can accomplish this.

At the moment I'm not able to use dns_sd because it complains in double-nat'ed 
environments. I don't expect it to perform port mapping on the "outer" of the 
two NAT's; only the "closer" one; the default gateway. But because it detects 
the double-nat, it refuses to proceed. I'd really like to be able to tell it 
that I understand it's objections, but I'd really like it to proceed anyway.

I dug into the Bonjour source code and found the offending line of code, but 
unless I misunderstood, it looks nothing short of replacing mDNSResponder with 
a new build would resolve the issue - which isn't an acceptable course of 
action for me.

Is there any way to make Bonjour ignore its double-nat objections?

Left field here: would it be crazy to include an mDNSResponder build with the 
application? Can multiple instances run without bothering each other?

Thanks for your help.
