I don´t want to remove the configured static ip from the interface since i can´t reliably determine if the configuration is wrong or the server can´t be reached for some other reason, so they are supposed to keep trying to connect. <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-15"> I found <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/avahi/2007-November/001207.html">http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/avahi/2007-November/001207.html</a> where Lennart says that "Avahi will take the first public IP address it finds for each interface", but i can see (using avahi-daemon --debug or tcpdump) that avahi publishes both IP addresses of the interface. This leads to unreliable behaviour on the client side, which sometimes resolves the hostname to the link-local address, but sometimes to the statically configured IP address, which can´t be reached by the local admin using a link-local address. Is there a way to only publich the link-local address? I found nothing in the manpages, so i guess it can´t be done, but thought i´d ask anyway... Best regards Gregor </body> </html>
