Avahi had

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
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/avahi/2008-December/001523.html">http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/avahi/2008-December/001523.html</a>,
by Federico Lucifredi (<em></em><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:flucifredi@acm.org">flucifredi@acm.org</a>). That was in
December 2008. There was an email in July 2011 asking about this
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/avahi/2011-June/002037.html">http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/avahi/2011-June/002037.html</a>)
which did not get anywhere. I have emailed Federico tonight about
his patches to Avahi, so maybe(!) these can finally be published and
integrated.<br>
<br>
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
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="https://github.com/Roguelazer/wamupd/"><https://github.com/Roguelazer/wamupd/></a>, and Federico
Lucifredi has a Perl script at
<a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://primates.ximian.com/~flucifredi/mybook/dns-update.html"><http://primates.ximian.com/~flucifredi/mybook/dns-update.html></a>
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.<br>
