[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#433945:

[Kernc]

With Avahi bug #311, I understand it was agreed the bug was on
Lennart to fix.

Still, I would just like to reiterate that in 2013 on some misconfigured
public hotspots the avahi-daemon-check-dns.sh indeed doesn't stop
the daemon, which makes the hotel hotspot unavailable to the unaware
travelling novice.

For the particular server I have in mind, no DNS records exist for domain
'local':
$ nslookup
> server
Default server: 10.5.50.1
Address: 10.5.50.1#53
>
> hotspot.plaza.local
Server:        10.5.50.1
Address:    10.5.50.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    hotspot.plaza.local
Address: 10.5.50.1
>
> plaza.local
Server:        10.5.50.1
Address:    10.5.50.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    plaza.local
Address: 192.168.120.97
Name:    plaza.local
Address: 192.168.120.99
>
> local
Server:        10.5.50.1
Address:    10.5.50.1#53

** server can't find local: SERVFAIL
> >

And /etc/resolv.conf holds:
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain hotspot.plaza
search hotspot.plaza

OS X indeed has no trouble connecting.
