The [[http://www.avahi.org/wiki/AvahiWalkOfFame|Avahi Walk of Fame]] lists many open-source applications that work with Zeroconf.

Avahi can [[http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/avahi-wide-area.html|browse services published on wide-area networks]] (WANs), by [[http://eric.extremeboredom.net/2006/03/16/253|setting certain unicast DNS records]] for the domain.

Benjamin Sherman has an article about [[http://holyarmy.org/benjamin/2008/11/bonjour-avahi-addendum/|publishing services with Avahi]].

== IPv6 ==

To enable Avahi for IPv6:

 * Make sure use-ipv6=yes is set in /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf
 * Modify /etc/nsswitch.conf change mdns4_minimal to mdns, and mdns4 to mdns

Testing ping: if you're using link-local IPv6 addresses and not global ones, you need to use the -I option to specify outgoing interface w/ ping:

{{{#!highlight sh numbers=off
ping -I wlan0 router.local
}}}

== Publishing new addresses ==

=== Aliases ===


[[https://gist.github.com/gdamjan/3168336|avahi-alias.py]] (Python 2-only) publishes new address in a command-line tool via D-Bus. The [[https://github.com/airtonix/avahi-aliases|avahi-aliases]] project does the same, but you can do so from `/etc/avahi/aliases.d/`.
