Dear avahi developers, we have remotely configured devices (they fetch changes to their network config from a centralized location), if they can?t reach a certain server for some time i?d like to add a link-local ip to their interface by avahi-autoipd and start a webinterface where they can be reconfigured by a local admin. I don?t want to remove the configured static ip from the interface since i can?t reliably determine if the configuration is wrong or the server can?t be reached for some other reason, so they are supposed to keep trying to connect. I found http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/avahi/2... where Lennart says that "Avahi will take the first public IP address it finds for each interface", but i can see (using avahi-daemon --debug or tcpdump) that avahi publishes both IP addresses of the interface. This leads to unreliable behaviour on the client side, which sometimes resolves the hostname to the link-local address, but sometimes to the statically configured IP address, which can?t be reached by the local admin using a link-local address. Is there a way to only publich the link-local address? I found nothing in the manpages, so i guess it can?t be done, but thought i?d ask anyway... Best regards Gregor
