mdns-liaison

mdns-liaison is a shitty hack of a unicast DNS -> multicast mDNS A record request proxy.

It was designed to meet a use case where the ability to do mDNS hostname lookups were desired inside docker containers without running a full Avahi stack.

Usage

docker build -t mdns-liaison .
docker run -d --net=host mdns-liaison

Add nameserver 172.17.0.1 to your docker host /etc/resolv.conf, Docker should add this entry into container /etc/resolv.conf files automatically.

NOTE: By default this listens on all interfaces.

There is a known panic on a closed channel.
