This question was originally included on this post, and was moved here as a separate question for clarity.


Will Apple Wide Area Bonjour work ok with a subdomain instead of a base domain? ie have Custom DNS service on http://sub.domain.com and configure the rest accordingly, so hostname in AirPort would be "airport.sub.domain.com" etc?

Yes. Just make sure that the PTR records created as indicating in the DynDNS.com Wide Area Bonjour instructions reference http://sub.your-custom-zone.com in the data portion, instead of http://your-custom-zone.com.

Example:

Host TTL Type Data

b._dns-sd._udp 60 PTR http://sub.your-custom-zone.com.

lb._dns-sd._udp 60 PTR http://sub.your-custom-zone.com.

db._dns-sd._udp 60 PTR http://sub.your-custom-zone.com.

r._dns-sd._udp 60 PTR http://sub.your-custom-zone.com.

dr._dns-sd._udp 60 PTR http://sub.your-custom-zone.com.

Thanks - I've set this up, in this manner

Nothing appears when using my AirPort Extreme…

ie http://airport.sub.your-custom-zone.com

When using my MacBookPro, I can see its bonjour service records showing up in my custom zone - so something is working there. But the device itself 'mbp.sub.your-custom-zone.com' does not appear as a separate DNS record with an IP address. Should this not be occurring too?

cheers

yes it appears that would be it. Thanks, I thought I could use this stuff as more of a drop-in-replacement for the standard dynamic ip service - but it seems not the case. Cheers :)
