Doxygen stuff.

Ok, strange situation. But let me elaborate.

But this is not what the user specified! The user specified
the service
is active for a specific hostname. This hostname resolves to
an IP
address. Why does avahi broadcast it to all interfaces
pretending that
the service is connected to NULL/::/0.0.0.0?
Shouldn't the hostname not be exported? Like you said in the
reply on my
first question?
Anyway the it is not like a 'big' deal for me, because we
can limit the
interfaces now. But I consider this behavior plain
incorrect. If a
service doesn't run on 0.0.0.0 it should not be dumped on
the network as
such.
