Details:

References Internet Draft: draft-cheshire-dnsext-multicastdns-08.txt
(http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-cheshire-dnsext-multicastdns/)

Create a multicast DNS module that can be optionally compiled into an
application that provides the functionality of 'multiple response' and
'continuous query' for multicast DNS for LwIP applications. 

Refer to section 6.2 and 6.3 in above document.

This functionality would enable LWIP applications to not only resolve .local
host names on LANs without the need to update or manage a DNS server, but also
enables the application to 'listen' for multicast DNS changes and multiple
responses. For example finding devices that offer specific services on the
local network.

Macs by default and Windows/Linux machines can be easily configured to
respond to mDNS queries.
