mDNSResponder has a -d flag to autodaemonize, and can also read in a configuration file of hosts/services to advertise as opposed to the one host/service per instance problem mDNSProxyResponder has.


or is there something funky with your setup that requires it? (ie nocat being a captive portal)

    mDNSResponder won't let you advertise arbitrary IP addresses. It will only advertise local services, and in my case, I'm running the advertiser on a separate box from my web server.

    But if you are advertising services on the same machine that they are served from, mDNSResponderPosix would do the trick nicely.
