Intentions for Version 2

[mdidon]

Starting this issue as an ideas/tracker board for version 2 of bonjour-service.

Version 1 was forked as an near for like replacement for bonjour given little updates had been made in many years.
By this point it is clear there are number of functional issues with the inner workings like consistent service discovery.

Version 2 would likely be a rewrite from scratch but the aim would still be to maintain as much backwards compatibility as possible given the large user base.

Please drop any suggestion for features and improvements below.
Thanks

Thanks! We ran into an issue this week where in the resolution step bonjour-service's mdns-server.ts line 95 and 115 sends A records for multiple network interfaces including addresses that are unreachable by the requester. The requester in this case was avahi-browse on another computer, and it seems to have wrongly accepted the last A record offered by bonjour-service, even though the last A record's IP address was unroutable and the first was routable. We tried using the 'interface' option that is passed through to multicast-dns, but that didn't work. So that's one feature we'll be interested in (and we could possibly even be providing a pull request soon if you're okay with that, and we're open to suggestions about how that should be implemented) -- how to either make it configurable (maybe a callback for filtering) or automatic if it's possible to know where the resolve query is coming from.

Edit: Discussion continued at Limiting published IP addresses #70

Another feature we need is to detect and use subtypes. May be related to #38
