[avahi] nss-mdns and multihoming

Hello, gents,

I would like to configure nss-mdns to prefer certain network interfaces for 
multicast DNS resolution, because I have a multihomed / always-on VPN system 
and sometimes nss-mdns returns address of the VPN when I am on the home 
network, causing all sorts of problems.  What I would like is for nss-mdns to 
prefer resolving a host name X.local discovered on the local interface (wlan0) 
whenever a X.local machine is found on avahi's cache, and, if not, then return 
the IP address for the host name X.local on the VPN interface (tap0).

How to tell nss-mdns to do this?
