title: Standard mDNS service on Windows
body: <p>Does Windows (some modern flavour) have an mDNS server installed and/or running by default? If so then how does one tell it, preferably dynamically, to start/stop advertising a new service?</p>
  
  <p>If there is no standard then how does one deal with the problem of conflicts trying to run multiple mDNS servers in that environment?</p>
  
  <p>Basically, I want to implement a service that will run on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X and which needs to advertise its zeroconf webserver location using mDNS. On Linux I just use avahi-publish (or install a config file). I'm guessing that the answer will be straightforward for OS X. I'm struggling to find information for Windows.</p>
