I have a web application running in a local webserver. Its network doesn't have a local DNS server and I need to use a local name like "http://myapp". Now I have to add the webserver ip address in hosts file of every client.

I would like to know if firefox runs a multicast name resolution in addition to the standard dns resolution when I request a page. If yes, my idea is to register this application as a mdns service at startup so every clients can find the webserver without an internal DNS server.

Thank you.

I’m not sure if I can answer that question directly, but did you have a look at this blog post? You could also run a search for "mdns" in Bugzilla for more info. My bet is that it’s not yet supported the way you want, but I could be wrong.

Hope this helps.
