mDNS Reflector (mdns-reflector) is a lightweight and performant multicast DNS (mDNS) reflector with a modern design. It reflects mDNS queries and responses among multiple LANs, which allows you to run untrusted IoT devices in a separate LAN but those devices can still be discovered in other LANs.
- Low footprint, no dynamic memory allocation during reflecting
- Rootless - can be run as either root or non-root
- Supports zone based reflection
- Supports both IPv4 and IPv6
- Leverages epoll on Linux and kqueue on BSD and macOS
It provides a command line interface (CLI) familiar to the discontinued mdns-repeater.

cd mdns-reflector && mkdir build && cd build

make installmdns-reflector is easy to use. Just run the following command on a multi-homed host:
mdns-reflector -fn eth0 eth1where eth0 and eth1 are the interfaces that you want to reflect mDNS for.
Run mdns-reflector -h for help.
Similarly, run with Docker in the foreground:
docker run --net=host yuxzhu/mdns-reflector:latest mdns-reflector -fn eth0 eth1Or run with Docker as a daemon:
docker run -d --restart=always --net=host yuxzhu/mdns-reflector:latest mdns-reflector -fn eth0 eth1Copyright (C) 2021 Yuxiang Zhu [email protected]
