| + | ===== Extending DNS support ===== | ||
| + | In general, it might be handy to utilize mDNS in a few cases. In some environments, DNS servers either aren't available or unnecessary. If it is an isolated network, then DNS servers aren't always reachable or don't have resource records for the boot servers (which could vary per location). On local, test, development, or lab environments it isn't always ideal or worth the trouble to setup a DNS server and/or integrate it with DHCP. Honestly, what is the need for a registered domain for an 8 node lab? | ||

| + | Utilizing multicast DNS should be a compile time option for **.local** suffixed requests. The default behavior can be debated later =) | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Ad hoc deployment network ===== | ||
| + | this could be particularly useful for those times you have to deploy 10+ machines quickly. Sure DHCP/DNS could do it, but what if it was an appliance of sorts? | ||
