Looking at the code again, the patch does the right thing and the code
is now correct in its handling of link local addresses wrt reflector.

The remaining issue is that avahi should be better at choosing the IPv4
address it sends back to the client when resolving a service. Working
IPv4 LL is all but a given.

I think avahi should not return an IPv4 LL address when a global address
is also advertised if the host doesn't have a link local address
configured on the interface avahi got the mDNS response from.

I'll leave it up to you to close or retitle this bug.

Thanks,

JB.
