mDNS and Zero Conf

Started playing around with multicast DNS on NetBSD to get ZeroConf up and running for local LAN name resolution. This is already happening with my OS X systems. It will just be nice to get the other couple of hosts on this as well.

Supposively there is a Windows version. I'll worry about that after I get the NetBSD stuff up and running.

I'm tackling it with Avahi. Currently it got added to pkgsrc-wip about 3.5 hours before I started to go look for it.


I finally bothered to hook up a ps2 style keyboard to my amd64 system. Maybe I'll be able to capture a traceback on the next panic. (And maybe even a hit as to why the USB keyboard isn't working in ddb.)
