[avahi] Resolve multiple IP4 Addresses

[Daniel Wynne]

ok...

...this is the call I make in the ServiceResolverCallback:



...
avahi_record_browser_new (
			client,
			AVAHI_IF_UNSPEC,
			AVAHI_PROTO_UNSPEC,
			name,
			AVAHI_DNS_CLASS_IN,
			AVAHI_DNS_TYPE_HINFO,
			AVAHI_LOOKUP_USE_MULTICAST,
			SAvahiRecordBrowser_callback,
			client ) ...




The Callback of the RecordBrowser always goes into state "CACHE
EXHAUSTED". 
In which format does "name" has to be? A little more documentation would
be helpful ;-)

After we succeeded in this, I owe you a beer at least, I think... ;-)
