I imagine that would be the job of mod_dnssd, not Avahi. Looking at my
Avahi Discovery box, I can see a few of the various web servers running
in my house, and they have their own "TXT Machine Name" fields, which is
unrelated to the hostname. There is nothing stopping mod_dnssd from
being able to register one of these for each of your VirtualHosts --
just somebody needs to code it.
