Resolving IP addresses with Bonjour and mDNS

Wednesday, November 3, 2010


OS X uses this strange mDNS thing that I haven't studied much, but what I have gathered is that host and nslookup don't work for resolving hostnames over mDNS. The way to do this is to use dns-sd -G, like:

$ dns-sd -G v4 foobar.local

Excelent! Note that you might want your command window 101 characters wide. Example output:

Timestamp A/R Flags if Hostname Address TTL

12:32:23.921 Add 2 12 unitname.local. 192.168.111.9 120

You will need to use CTRL+C to exit.
