I take that back - patches were apparently written for this but never made
public, as far as I can see.

links? emails? This has got to get fixed in the long run... nagging
the developers to publish and polish is generally useful.


The email mentioning this is at http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/avahi/2008-December/001523.html, by Federico Lucifredi (flucifredi@acm.org).  That was in December 2008.  There was an email in July 2011 asking about this (http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/avahi/2011-June/002037.html) which did not get anywhere.  I have emailed Federico tonight about his patches to Avahi, so maybe(!) these can finally be published and integrated.

I should mention at this point (although it's not ideal) that various workarounds exist.  For example, there is a Ruby D-Bus daemon to do wide-area updates at <https://github.com/Roguelazer/wamupd/>, and Federico Lucifredi has a Perl script at <http://primates.ximian.com/~flucifredi/mybook/dns-update.html> for one-off registration.  If one of these (or a similar script) were installed by default in Linux distributions, that might be enough for desktop machines.
