[avahi] browsing for services on a specific multicast address

I have a situation like this:
On my local network I have number of file servers which announce 
themselves using zeroconf. The servers are being split into groups by 
using a specific multicast address for each group.
My question is, how can I use avahi to browse for services on a specific 
multicast address.
In my documentation there is an example using Apple tools, according to 
this example I can do something like:
dns-sd -B 225_0_10_100._ftp._tcp
to browse for ftp services on multicast address 225.0.10.100

Can I do this with the avahi client api?
