Digging Rendezvous

Multicast DNS is an important part of Apple's Rendezvous technology. I thought I'd write down how to do some multicast DNS lookups using good old dig at the command-line.

% dig @224.0.0.251 -p 5353 _ssh._tcp.local ANY % dig @224.0.0.251 -p 5353 Hostname.local ANY

This works, but doesn't really work like you want. It only returns one answer, which is hardly useful. You can always use RendezCon or RenBrowser on MacOS X instead.

And yeah, I'm sorry there's no python content here. Been busy...

One python programmer's search for understanding and avocados. This isn't personal, only pythonic.
