[avahi] avahi-daemon stops working after undetermined period of time

[Brian McKee]

I'm resurrecting an old thread here.

I have a mixed Mac / Linux LAN - all static IP.
I'm advertising a couple of services on the Linux boxes.
The Macs are obviously advertising themselves as well.

Each time avahi-daemon is restarted service discovery etc. all seems  
to work fine.
After about 10 minutes, you can't resolve the host names of the Linux  
boxes anymore.

Previously on this list (Dec 08) it was suggested I check for firewall  
issues - I've done so and confirmed that isn't currently a problem.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=872827 shows I'm not alone  
anyway...

Suggestions on how to track down what's happening here?

I have run the avahi-daemon in --debug mode, and there is no  
indication there at all when resolution starts failing.
