Description

After installing FreeNAS I normally expect to be able to access it by http://freenas.local, and should be able to ping freenas.local. This does not work after the changes to mdns. A service like SMB must be started first in order to be able to access using mdns.

Also see #26168. This has been flaky -- it seems to work sometimes but not others.

Note that this invalidates the Guides that ship with hardware which specifically state to connect to freenas.local.

I'm pretty sure this is intentional. We do have options here though. We can manually register _workstation or _device-info on startup. Thoughts?

Well, I see the problem and the fix here ;-) The middleware daemon starts early, it starts even before mdnsd does, so not even _middleware is getting registered. I need to either change the RC ordering or make the mdns plugin smart enough to hold out for mdnsd to start. Once this is done, this should fix this issue.

Changing the RC order is probably very bad, so going to work on the latter.
