I have machines with avahi disabled, I do not use zeroconf, I would like this to work without avahi and zeroconf broadcasting, I configure the machines myself

In relation to Avahi, I'd like to review our usage of this - https://github.com/nelsonjchen/mDNSResponder - as it hasn't been updated since May 2019. Although that could be because there's nothing else to implement, my concern is any potential upstream CVEs/vulns.

Currently, we have a PowerShell script that downloads the library and extracts it into .\deps.
