mdnsresponder
mDNSResponder(8) BSD System Manager's Manual mDNSResponder(8)
NAME
mDNSResponder -- Multicast and Unicast DNS daemon
SYNOPSIS
mDNSResponder
DESCRIPTION
mDNSResponder (also known as mdnsd on some systems) is a daemon invoked at boot time to implement Multicast DNS and DNS Service Discovery. On
Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), mDNSResponder is also the system-wide Unicast DNS Resolver.
mDNSResponder listens on UDP port 5353 for Multicast DNS Query packets. When it receives a query for which it knows an answer, mDNSResponder
issues the appropriate Multicast DNS Reply packet.
mDNSResponder also performs Unicast and Multicast DNS Queries on behalf of client processes, and maintains a cache of the replies.
mDNSResponder has no user-specifiable command-line argument, and users should not run mDNSResponder manually.
LOGGING
There are several methods with which to examine mDNSResponder's internal state for debugging and diagnostic purposes. The syslog(1) logging
levels map as follows:
Error - Error messages
Warning - Client-initiated operations
Notice - Sleep proxy operations
Info - Informational messages
By default, only log level Error is logged.
A SIGUSR1 signal toggles additional logging, with Warning and Notice enabled by default:
% sudo killall -USR1 mDNSResponder
Once this logging is enabled, users can additionally use syslog(1) to change the log filter for the process. For example, to enable log lev-
els Emergency - Debug:
% sudo syslog -c mDNSResponder -d
A SIGUSR2 signal toggles packet logging:
% sudo killall -USR2 mDNSResponder
A SIGINFO signal will dump a snapshot summary of the internal state to /var/log/system.log:
% sudo killall -INFO mDNSResponder
OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS
mDNSResponder accepts the following optional arguments:
-AlwaysAppendSearchDomains
Append search domains for multi-labeled Partially Qualified Domain Name as well as single-labeled Partially Quali-
fied Domain Name. This argument is not recommended because of the extra DNS traffic it generates and its adverse
effect on battery life.
-NoMulticastAdvertisements
Prevent the system from advertising Bonjour services via Multicast DNS.
To cause mDNSResponder to run with these optional arguments when it launches on OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) and later, set the
AlwaysAppendSearchDomains or NoMulticastAdvertisements boolean keys to true in /Library/Preferences/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist and reboot.

HISTORY
The mDNSResponder daemon first appeared in Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar).
Also available from the Darwin open source repository (though not officially supported by Apple) are mDNSResponder daemons for other plat-
forms, including Microsoft Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, and other POSIX systems.
