[avahi] Client Browser questions

[Nathanael D. Noblet]

Hello,

   So using the examples from the source in avahi I've been able to get 
my one app to see when a new service comes online that I'm interested 
in. However I'm confused about the other use-case, mainly when a client 
goes offline. It doesn't provide enough information to know which host 
disappeared...

 From the example browse_callback you get the event (failure, new, 
remove etc) in the case of new you resolve it to a host. Is there any 
way in the REMOVE case to determine the source (IP, hostname or any 
other identifying). The reason being is that my app is an 
'administration' app, so has a list of configured hosts, and avahi is 
used to know when they are accessible. So when a host starts the service 
I can see it and in my host list I mark it as 'online' but when I cancel 
the service, I can't see a way to mark that host as offline.

Thoughts?
