Security is IMPORTANT! Sadly, too few vendors care at all ("We recommend

Check out top-of-tree mDNSResponder module from CVS. (Follow the 
instructions labeled "For APSL projects.")

cd mDNSPosix
make os=linux
sudo make install os=linux

Then cd ../Clients and make to build a simple client showing how to use 
the APIs.
