Description Jan Christoph Ebersbach

DNS-SD (Service Discovery) is used by Bonjour/Zeroconf to automatically discover resources like printers.  DNS-SD works around a common is of Bonjour, the limitation to the current subnet.  I.e. printers are located in a network that's separated from the clients.  These clients are not able to discover any printers by default.  With DNS-SD the name server provides the missing functionality.

Currently, UCS doesn't support DNS-SD, because it requires PTR records in a forward zone.

This functionality was mentioned at Ticket #2014031821007345.

There is a workaround possible, even though it is not update-proof as the changes will get overwritten with an "ucr commit".

Assuming using Samba as backend (ucr get dns/backend):
Step 1
Edit named.conf.samba4

Add in section options{ }; :

response-policy {
  zone "response-policy";
};

In file /etc/bind/local.conf.samba4 create the zone:

zone "response-policy" {
  type master;
  file "/etc/bind/response-policy";
  allow-query { none; };
};


Create the zone file /etc/bind/response-policy with the content as needed. i.e. as follows:

$TTL 1H
@ SOA LOCALHOST. hostmaster.example.org (1 1h 15m 30d 2h)
NS LOCALHOST.

; define all internal domains to overwrite
b._dns-sd._udp.example.org IN PTR
pc-printer-discovery.example.org.
lb._dns-sd._udp.example.org IN PTR
pc-printer-discovery.example.org.
