Multicast DNS & the ".local" domain

[Felipe Alfaro Solana <felipe_alfaro linuxmail org>]

Short question: Does Fedora Core 3 support multicast DNS name 
resolution for the ".local" domain?

Long: I can resolv my Linux hostname from my Mac OS X computer, but my 
Linux box can't resolve my Mac OS X hostname.

Looking at the network traffic, Mac OS X name queries for the ".local" 
domain do send mDNS traffic to the multicast mDNS address. Linux 
queries for the ".local" domain go against my ISP DNS server.
