[avahi] Mono-bindings: ServiceResolver not resolving...

[Marc Krochmal]

Hi Celso,

One comment about your service type "_ifolder_member._tcp".  If  
possible, you should avoid using underscores in the middle of the  
service type, since the service label should only be letters, digits  
and hyphens.  This is so service types can eventually be merged with  
IANA's protocol name list.

<http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-fenner-iana-dns-srv-00.txt>

The current protocol and port number list requires protocol short  
names to be 14 characters maximum, consisting of letters, digits and  
hyphens.

So if possible, switch to using "_ifolder-member._tcp".

Best Regards,

-Marc
