[avahi] Published service gets incorrect address

[Trent Lloyd]

There's a good chance you're running into this issue:
https://github.com/lathiat/avahi/issues/117

Theres a bug right now causing avahi to conflict with itself on startup 
sometimes.  I hope to resolve that soon, but there is currently no fix.
It might help if you can get your init system to start avahi after your 
networking has come up instead of before.
