Hi Peter,
How would you assign addresses to hosts that have wired and wireless interfaces?
I use DHCP on my server - this automatically allocates IP addresses for each NIC (whether it be wireless or wired).
Up until now I've always used static addresses as I'm often developing servers so I need to know where they are !
However is seems that the mdns daemon can publish DHCP allocated address and thus local domain hostname lookups will still resolve via nss-mdns.
So this means that the original question becomes irrelevant and I will have true "zeroconf" networking :-)
Peter
