avahi daemon failing to resolve some services in RHEL 6
Issue
- We're starting to use avahi here for mdns resolution, and we are seeing some strange errors when browsing the network. For instance, if we do:
avahi-browse -rkt _ssh._tcp
We get some answers back, but then we get many hosts that timeout:
Failed to resolve service 'aaa' of type '_ssh._tcp' in domain 'local': Timeout reached
Failed to resolve service 'bbb' of type '_ssh._tcp' in domain 'local': Timeout reached
Failed to resolve service 'ccc' of type '_ssh._tcp' in domain 'local': Timeout reached
