Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for. I'm having a bit of trouble
debugging it, though, as I can't seem to find the zeroconf device on the
network now. Here's my config:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:11:11:b2:e6:38
          inet addr:192.168.100.2  Bcast:192.168.100.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
192.168.100.0   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U     1000   0        0 eth0
0.0.0.0         192.168.100.1   0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0
0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         U     1000   0        0 eth0

Do you see anything wrong here? The gateway route to 192.168.100.1 is used
to get out to the internet through NAT. I can remove that route, but still
can't discover my zeroconf device (it's an hdhomerun).

I *can* see the hdhomerun if a reconfigure eth0 to be a ipv4ll instead of
static 192.168.100.2, but then that breaks the rest of the network.

Any ideas or tips?
