I found nss-mdns-0.10-2.el5.i386.rpm downloadable from atrpms.net. As root: # yum install nss-mdns*.rpm Lastly, edit the nsswitch.conf file to tell the OS to use Bonjour in its DNS lookups. # vi /etc/nsswitch.conf replace hosts line with: hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 Install on Redhat EL5 and CentOS 5.3:
