 +====== Multicast DNS ======

 +  * [[Avahi]]

 +  * [[OS X]]
 +
 +Multicast DNS provides hostname resolution as well as advertises services to local computers.  It is only available on a LAN, and will not work over VPN.
 +
 +=== OS X ===
 +
 +OS X relies heavily on multicast DNS for name resolution, and will often prefer mDNS over a local DNS server for primary lookups.
 +
 +Using ''host'' will use the DNS server to do a lookup.
 +
 +Using ''ping'' will use mDNS to do the lookup.
