<div>I’m trying to figure out whether I’m up to adding aliases to Avahi. Would love some input on some of the below:
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">1. aliases should work rather similar to static hosts. Instead of reading /etc/avahi/hosts, it would read aliases, but in the same places in the control flow.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">2. some people have implemented aliases outside of the avahi daemon, e.g. here: <a href="https://gist.github.com/gdamjan/3168336" class="" target="_blank">https://gist.github.com/gdamjan/3168336</a> Does this look correct?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">3. --reload would also reload aliases. But: looking through reload_config() I’m confused why that routine only seems to invoke static_hosts_add_to_server() but not first static_hosts_remove_from_server()? Shouldn’t first get rid of the old values?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Would appreciate any input. Thanks,</div>
