I've also ported (and committed) nss-mdns. I think we should have an avahi compatible API, to be sure, but avahi is LGPL. I've been in contact with Fredrik Lindberg about llacd, which is BSD-licensed; he started out by patching kevent to notify of new/deleted addresses, but we decided the best way forward was to use routing sockets. So I dusted off the support code I wrote 4 years ago for native AODV on FreeBSD, and now Avahi's autoipd appears to work, after some hacking. His contact info is here: fli@shapeshifter.se llacd here: http://shapeshifter.se/projects/freebsd/zeroconfig/ PS: I have posted a kernel patch to -net to enable RFC 3927 compliant ARP replies in the netinet stack; infrastructure was just committed to sys/netinet/in.h in -CURRENT to support it.
