Actually.... systemd-resolved itself is pretty reliable and great for split-dns automation, especially involving VPNs with push dns. Fedora use it out of the box, and it supports mDNS resolving properly, but not registering services like avahi is still needed for, so it comes with mDNS disabled itself by default, and can still work fully with avahi-daemon in place for that.
It requires:
[Resolve]
MulticastDNS=yes
either in /etc/systemd/resolved.conf or /etc/systemd/resolved.conf.d/mdns.conf
And for NetworkManager:
[connection]
connection.mdns=2
In something like /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/mdns.conf to turn it on globally.
HOWEVER
The way Fedora currently does it is quite suggestive of this not supporting services, because GNOME uses mDNS to advertise DAV-based Shares over the network, and they enabled systemd-resolved's LLMNR, but kept mDNS disabled and run avahi-daemon still, because it can resolve AND setup services.
But, you can totally run systemd-resolved and avahi-daemon together.
I did try this on my own machines, and the results weren't quite as satisfying as hoped. While it worked in resolving, specifically, it did not advertise services like avahi-daemon does. You could even use the host command to look up hosts by their mDNS, which does not work normally.
There's still more room to look into this, but I don't think systemd-resolved itself is ready for replacing avahi-daemon just yet. Not for mDNS support...
But for DNS local caching, and split-DNS auto-setup, systemd-resolved it actually the best thing since sliced bread!
These were merged but pkgrel and checksum bumps were missing. Fixed and they should be rebuilt next hour.
(Or not? Seems like librewish sneaked them in while I was doing work stuff)
Hmmmm... A little bit of both, actually. I ran a BBS that, while it cost a bit up front to do, more so I was kind of borrowing the house line a bit until I got a cheap dedicated phone line added, but eventually a whole PBX setup because the local community really really liked my BBS as in the area is was the most versatile, unique, and not TAG. (I'd actually started with Renegade, then Telegard, then Remote Access with a LOT of custom made mods)..
But, the picture itself, I like even though it's a few years old now, just because I got that perfect look with the brick wall behind me. That was actually me at work at my desk, with a good firm brick wall.
, you don't look that old, or is it just the photo that's old?
