Hmm. Shouldn't work that simply by port number? The tls and non-tls
connections use different port numbers, right? The ssh tunneling case
is a bit icky though ...
And while you are at it, how about announcing the vm vnc screens too
(assuming they are not bound to the loopback interface only) as _rfb._tcp?

Gerd
