Hi Alexander,

Thank you for the quick reply.

Apple's Bonjour is indeed a mDNS implementation. For example if I name my macbook "Stephane's mac" (computer name field in System Preferences -> Sharing), and I run a web server on this laptop, then I can access it with Safari from my iPhone / iPad at address Stephanes-mac.local (the System Preferences -> Sharing pane provides the exact form after converting non-alpha characters).

On linux, I think the most common way is to use Avahi : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/avahi.

I took another approach, based on systemd (but configuration involves settings in several config files, I am not sure the following link is complete) : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd-resolved

Cheers,

Stéphane
