Can you recommend any good resources for setting up mDNS? It sounds like you managed to get it working across routers (networks?), which would be quite useful to have documented.

I'm not really using mDNS across networks, but rather just my home router's DNS functionality: Every device requesting an IP via DHCP automatically is made available as clientid.some.privatetld on the local DNS server. This works for both IPv4 and IPv6. As far as I remember, OpenWRT's default setup (probably using dnsmasq?) provides something very similar.

  Which is better then mdns for practical reasons. Android still doesn't support mdns unfortunately.

    Are you sure about that? It definitely supports at least the "client" side of it, i.e. resolving host names and discovering services (Chromecast is based on this, after all), and it looks like broadcasting services is supported as well: https://developer.android.com/training/connect-devices-wirelessly/nsd https://developer.android.com/training/connect-devices-wirel...
