====== Introduction ====== [[http://www.zeroconf.org/|Zeroconf]] is a set of tools used to create a local network in the absence of DHCP and DNS servers. Using [[http://www.multicastdns.org/|multicast DNS]], [[http://files.zeroconf.org/rfc3927.txt|IPv4 Link-Local Addressing]], and [[http://www.dns-sd.org/|DNS Service discovery (dns-sd)]] a local network can be ''full'' featured with out the need for a Wide Area Network (WAN). There is a good video of zeroconf from a google talk: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdbTyxYmF84&NR=1|November 2, 2005 Dr. Stuart]] This design page is to design and discuss the feasibility of zeroconf-gPXE. ====== Design Elements ====== Details ===== Link Local Addressing ===== ===== Multicast DNS ===== ===== DNS service discovery ===== ====== Use cases ====== Put any use cases here ===== 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? ====== Design Concerns ====== Any reasons to **not** implement this? ===== Security ===== There is little to no way to prevent hijacking. Is this even a concern?
