*mDNS responder*

Type: ``bool``

Help
====

This option enables the mDNS responder support for Zephyr.
It will listen well-known address ff02::fb and 224.0.0.251.
Currently this only returns IP address information.
You must set CONFIG_NET_HOSTNAME to some meaningful value and
then mDNS will start to respond to <hostname>.local mDNS queries.
See RFC 6762 for more details about mDNS.
