ivan at silverspark:~$ avahi-resolve-host-name axis-00408cxxxxxx.local
axis-00408cxxxxxx.local 169.254.154.134

Do you mean, something like "ifconfig eth0:0 169.254.whatever.whatever" ? That 
doesn't look like a clean solution IMHO... I'd like to be able to get the 
static IP in a direct way... :-/



By the way, these toys seem to use Apple's mDNSResponder 58.3, according to 
the manufacturer [1]. I wonder is this behaviour is also found on Macs...

P.S.: I'm usually lurking out on #avahi @freenode IRC.
