Description

On my network, if I run "avahi-discover", it will display "Domain Name: local" for any machine on the network.

The domain is not "local", and I can't find any reason why it thinks it is. I use my own DNS server and there are no references to a "local" domain in any of the zones, and there are no references to local in /etc/resolv.conf or /etc/hosts.

$> resolveip laptop IP address of laptop is 192.168.0.4 $> resolveip laptop.local resolveip: Unable to find hostid for 'laptop.local': host not found

The hostname commands all behave appropriately and --fqdn works fine. Reverse DNS lookups also function correctly.

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to invalid.

Avahi is about mDNS, not traditional DNS. The ad-hoc domain used by mDNS is called ".local". All services registered in mDNS are thus added to this domain.
