There actually is limited support for multicast in router mode, which might
just be good enough for multicast DNS. Since tinc 1.0.9, packets with a
destination in the 224.0.0.0/4 range will be broadcast to all the nodes in the
VPN. For multicast DNS servers and clients to work, the operating system
should send multicast packets to the VPN interface. You might need to enable
multicast on that interface and/or set up multicast routes to that interface.
