      Is there a way to filter the specific Bonjour services that Avahi is routing between subnets?  For example - I only want to send services around iTunes/AppleTV/Airplay (ie - _home-sharing._tcp, _daap._tcp. ,etc), but block all others such as AFP (_afpovertcp.P_tcp.)

        A quick perusal of the Avahi config file man page didn't turn up anything that looks like it would either limit or selectively offer specific services.

        If it did, it probably wouldn't be too difficult to add a couple fields to the GUI to do that, but if the Avahi doesn't actually support it there's not much we can do.

        You might ask around on an Avahi board/list and see if anyone has any hints.
