The solution was basically a hack of avahi-core. In avahi-core, the
*avahi_interface_send_packet* can be modified to call
*avahi_interface_send_packet_unicast* with a specific destination
address and port. Also in avahi-core, had to allow the server to respond
to non-local responses.

This allows for avahi to publish/respond to services across subnets (as
long as there is a valid route between the subnets).
