 Do you happen to know what the mime type should be for Etoys to open it?

The list of mime types that the eToys activity will open is at

http://dev.laptop.org/git/projects/etoys/tree/activity.info.in

I'm sure one of the eToys expert can give you better advice than I on
which mime type is preferred.

 The short of it is that mdns/dns-sd make sense for a small,

 cheap resource, that broadcast messages are cheap, and that there is
 no coordinating server.

mDNS assumes all of the above things.  DNS-SD does not.  DNS-SD is
perfectly happy to work on a standard DNS server.  From the spec


   This document proposes no change to the structure of DNS messages,
   and no new operation codes, response codes, resource record types,
   or any other new DNS protocol values. This document simply specifies
   a convention for how existing resource record types can be named and
   structured to facilitate service discovery.

(http://files.dns-sd.org/draft-cheshire-dnsext-dns-sd.txt)

I'm not particularly knowledgeable about the XS service discovery
requirements, nor about DNS, so I can't reasonably tell you to use DNS-SD.
 What I can say is that it seems like it should be workable.
