Advertiser has to be implemented by DNSSec. I'm not sure the DNS
resolver supports DNSSEC. An alternative all this might be to use a
mixture of DNS-SD and SLP which is speced in RFC 3832 [1][2].

The idea is that this is done by passing the domain name in the connect
call. However, currently the code always uses my test domain. You'll
have to change the connect() method yourself.
