[avahi] Enumerate domain on "search" domain from resolv.conf

[Trent Lloyd]

Hi Petit,

Avahi does not search the list in /etc/resolv.conf, however you can configure additional search domains in the avahi-daemon.conf:

browse-domains= Set a comma seperated list of browsing domains (in addition to the default one and those announced inside the default browsing domain). Please note that the user may specify additional browsing domains on the client side, either by setting $AVAHI_BROWSE_DOMAINS to a list of colon seperated domains or by adding them to the XDG config file ~/.config/avahi/browse-domains (seperated by newlines).

Regards,
Trent
