I have checked the wiki and forum to look for help getting mDNS/ZeroConf working with Barrier Breaker

http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/zeroconf?s[]=mdns and
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/barrier.breaker?s[]=mdns

Can anyone point to concrete steps that make any of the listed packages work? Many thanks.

Update: I'm only tentatively sure of this answer... I'll review and modify if needed.

Answered my own question... I got avahi working as a mDNS/ZeroConf server using the following steps:

From ssh:

opkg update
opkg install avahi-daemon

Edit /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf to have these new lines:

[server]
...
allow-interfaces=br-lan
enable-dbus=no

[reflector]
...
enable-reflector=yes

And finally, use the GUI System -> Startup to Restart and then Enable the avahi-daemon, or ssh and:

/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon start
/etc/init.d/avahi-daemon enable

Note: If this router is a secondary router (that is, within your firewall), you can turn on mDNS for your entire internal network (that is to run on both interfaces of the router), using the following in /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf:

allow-interfaces=br-lan,eth0

Documentation:

    http://linux.die.net/man/5/avahi-daemon.conf

Update: Removed info about firewall modifications. They are not needed.
