[libvirt] [PATCH] Bind to ip_addr support.

[Stefan de Konink]

About mdns, do you think it would be a good thing to *not* follow the
Avahi advise and explicitly set the host the service is running on? In my
humble opinion I think that would be a wise decision.

host 	The host this services is residing on. We recommend to pass NULL
here, the daemon will than automatically insert the local host name in
that case

I wonder how avahi will decide if the service doesn't run on 0.0.0.0 but
on a specific address. Then we still have domain left, but with a bit
smart implementation upstream that could just work.

The attached patch explicitly sets the host of the mDNS advertisement.


Because of some 'unexpected' behavior... I hoped strdup(NULL) would just
work, but it didn't, I placed it inside an if loop. The debug message
doesn't mind '(null)' but I think 0.0.0.0 is more appropriate.
