Erlang multicast DNS and DNS-SD (DNS Service Discovery)
emdns is a cleverly named implementation of the multicast DNS (aka Bonjour, aka ZeroConf) and DNS-SD (DNS Service Discovery) protocols for Erlang.
Eventually, it will support:

BUILD
make
QUICK START
Assume you have two hosts "nul" and "ack". Any multicast DNS services are disabled on "nul". "ack" runs Mac OS X.
Host Entry
- Login to "ack". From a shell, run:
$ ping nul.local ping: unknown host nul.local
- On "nul", start erl:
$ erl -pa ebin
emdns_server:start(). {ok,<0.35.0>} emdns_server:debug(true). ok A = emdns:service(host). % assumes "nul" has a reverse DNS entry <<0,0,132,...>> emdns_server:send(A). ok
- On "ack", run:
$ ping nul.local PING nul.local (192.168.1.10): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.1.10: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=4.471 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.10: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=2.611 ms
- Set up a DAAP service
D = emdns:service(daap). emdns_server:send(D).
- On "ack", in iTunes, check "Devices" for an entry named "erlMOTE".
