I missed a few thousand smileys...of course NOONE can follow everything in zeroconf...

In short, we have things live like this:

lb._dns-sd._udp.0.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR example.com.

The result is similar to do the same queries in .local TLD (but then most of the time using mDNS).

See section 11 of http://files.dns-sd.org/draft-cheshire-dnsext-dns-sd.txt for example.
