[avahi] CNAME Ubuntu 10.04

[Ben Griffith]

Hi,

Using the avahi package (0.6.25) on my Ubuntu 10.04.2 server. I am trying to have a CNAME get registered in the local zone in order to have other avahi aware machines find virtual (apache) sites on that server. I am aware of the example python program(s) from the wiki. I have tried them, and none of them seem to publish a CNAME. I can never see the host alias that I am trying to publish in the local zone.

I am not a programmer, so contributing a patch, or even advanced troubleshooting of the existing system/python scripts is beyond me. Does the CNAME functionality work for others? Is there a problem with the Ubuntu package? Any tips from anyone who has made this work? I'd love to not have to setup a DNS server in order to access multiple virtual sites on my server.

TIA,
--Ben--
