Hi,

I'm writing a DNSSD service, it works different than Avahi.

It does dns discovery, and writes the records to a backend. At this moment the following I want to be supported:

• ldap
• sqlite
• filesystem

With the first, which scheme/attribute is there? It is about:

• network host dns names
  • ip address (ipv4 and/or ipv6)
  • services like SMB, CUPS, SSH etc. with port

I see a lot of good attributes like ipServicePort, ipProtocolNumber and ipHostNumber, in schema NIS, but I miss the hostname (==string) and servicename, and the original dnssd type (_ssh_tcp etc)

hostname is a domainComponent, dc. servicename is probably ipServiceProtocol or just use cn, see the ipService objectclass.

Can you give and advice which attributes (or objectclass) to take? The following I have so far:

• network hostname: nisObject (I don't know)
• ip address: ipHostNumber
• service name: ipServiceProtocol and ipServicePort

So is nisObject a good candidate for a dns hostname?
