Addendum to the Avahi on pfSense post
01-02-09
In this post, I talked about setting up Avahi on pfSense as an mDNS reflector. Looks like the Avahi guys released 0.6.24 on December 12th which allows you to specify interfaces for Avahi to listen to mDNS requests on. Naturally this won’t have become a binary package for FreeBSD just yet, so I’ll have to work on compiling it. Might get to that tonight – I’ll attach a binary package to this post (assuming I can figure out how to in Wordpress) once I get a chance to get it compiled. That update solves the main issue I have with running Avahi on my firewall. While I don’t think it’ll be visible to others on my cable connection – I’ve got static addressing and it’s unlikely that the multicast will pass the router (and I’m running CARP, so disabling multicast on the egress interface isn’t an option) – it’ll be nice to feel better about it, plus I have a couple DMZ interfaces that really don’t need visibility into this.
