mDNS Service to support certain IoT devices on other VLANs/subnets

  To add -
  
  mDNS allows you to segregate IoT devices like a Chromecast onto an isolated VLAN/network, but still make use of those services from the more secure business/home VLANs.
  
  This is becoming an increasingly popular way to display presentations in businesses I frequent, versus the old way of emailing someone the presentation or using a USB thumb drive on a PC connected to the TV.

  I've come across a need for multicast discovery over VPN for gate entry access over a MPLS link between two sites so adding mVPN support would be a good as well

  Agreed, an mDNS reflector would be very useful for my business.

  Untangle is built on Debian. Technically it already has Avahi. (Btw, you can always use the console to install or enable it.)

  Would very much like to see this as a configurable advanced option. Right now the best way seems to be a virtual machine, but that is more complicated then just setting it up on my untangle box. Ubiquiti does offer the configuration for one I know of as I have thought about adding a USG (their security/routing device) as well vs the VM to get what I want working across a couple vlans.

  This is required to operate a Sonos system where the Sonos speakers exist on one VLAN, and the controller app (iPhone or PC) resides on a separate VLAN. I run a VLAN for IOT devices and a separate VLAN for user devices (IOT VLAN much greater lock down). It's a deal breaker for me as I was going to buy a license (still in 14 day trial), it's otherwise a great product.

  Definitely needed, as Untangle is often used at network Core, not edge (for home users).
  I tryed to install the service from SSH, but it is not possible as is non existent on untangle's repos.

  I'm going to have to go back to using pfsense , as this is a requirement on my network . and IMHO on any modern network
