Reflect with the tag that I'm looking for libre software (= open-sorce).

Aug 16, 2012 at 2:59 comment added imz -- Ivan Zakharyaschev I've stumbled upon some code where they try to use a Java mdns implementation and some source code from avahi on Android -- code.google.com/p/zeroconf-for-android/source/browse/trunk (It was a project to "create a simple android-application for managing devices (electronic devices like lamps) via zero configuration networking".) I'm not sure how it works, and whether this code can be adapted for publishing the SSH services...
Aug 13, 2012 at 14:37 comment added Izzy Sure, that was understood from the beginning -- that's why I thought it as a work-around undtil you find a real solution. There are apps available permitting you to configure a "fixed IP on demand / by network" (as opposed to the "fixed DHCP"), which should even work with your extreme airport basestation. If you're interested, I could sum this up and place it in an answer (together with my above comment).
Aug 13, 2012 at 14:22 comment added imz -- Ivan Zakharyaschev @Izzy: I see, thanks, that's a very reasonable workaround. But unfortunately, in my case, it seems that I have (as the router) an Airport Extreme basestation which doesn't support "DHCP reservations". Also, it would be nice to be able to connect to the device by a "nickname" in the situation when I'm a "guest" (in a network not configured by me).
Aug 13, 2012 at 13:45 comment added Izzy I know it's not the same, but while searching for the "final solution": I advised my routers DHCP to assign the devices a static IP, and then configured that with my local DNS (you could also do so via /etc/hosts). So I don't have to remember IPs, but the devices "nick names", which is quite easy in comparision.
Aug 13, 2012 at 13:08 comment added imz -- Ivan Zakharyaschev As for the SSH part of the wish, there are already Q&As: android.stackexchange.com/questions/9905/… , android.stackexchange.com/questions/15503/… . (Although I'll have to find out whether the suggested solutions are free/libre software--to answer my question.) The avahi/bonjour/zeroconf support part of my question is without an answer though...
Aug 13, 2012 at 13:02 comment added imz -- Ivan Zakharyaschev Just the same wish -- android.stackexchange.com/questions/20907/… : to ssh to Android not by its IP, but rather by the name acquired via zeroconf/bonjour/avahi/mdns (whatever you call it). It would be even better if the SSH service would be published via zeroconf/bonjour/avahi/mdns/dnssd (whatever you call it).
