Subject: [mdnsext] Interim Solution

While pursuing a permanent solution for using mDNS  across L2 boundaries is all well and good,  demand continues to grow from our users to do something, anything to make this work.

Since the biggest demand seems to be from users wanting to use Airplay from IOS and MAC OS devices, I would propose as an Interim solution a change to the those devices to allow one to statically enter the DNS hostname or IPv4 address of the Airplay end-device (Apple TV or Airport Express). In addition the ability to save ("bookmark") the DNS name or IPv4 address of the Airplay end-device on an iPhone, iPad, or MacBook Pro would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

-Neil
