[HN: Debian Lenny 2.6.18-12-fza-686, vzctl 3.0.22]

I have created a Debian VE on which there's a Firefly media server (mt-daapd). Firefly uses avahi-daemon to publish a DAAP mDNS service via multicast. To use multicast, I added a veth to the VE:

[host-node]# vzctl set 1028 --netif_add eth0 --save
[host-node]# ifconfig veth1028.0 0
[host-node]# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/veth1028.0/forwarding
[host-node]# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/veth1028.0/proxy_arp
[host-node]# ip route add 192.168.10.1028 dev veth1028.0
[host-node]# vzctl enter 1028
[ve-1028]# /sbin/ifconfig eth0 0
[ve-1028]# /sbin/ip addr add 192.168.10.28 dev eth0
[ve-1028]# /sbin/ip route add default dev eth0


I can ping the VE from my notebook, so it seems the interface works. When I start the mt-daapd service, on the VE I can see the service published on both IPv4 and IPv6:

[ve-1028]# avahi-browse -r _daap._tcp
+ eth0 IPv6 iTunes Audio Access  local
+ eth0 IPv4 iTunes Audio Access  local
= eth0 IPv6 iTunes Audio Access  local
   hostname = [ve-1028.local]
   address = [fe80::218:51ff:xxxx:xxxx]
   port = [3689]
= eth0 IPv4 iTunes Audio Access  local
   hostname = [ve-1028.local]
   address = [192.168.10.28]
   port = [3689]


But on the HN (and my notebook) I see only the IPv6 service:

[host-node]# avahi-browse -r _daap._tcp
+ veth1028.0 IPv6 iTunes Audio Access  local
= veth1028.0 IPv6 iTunes Audio Access  local
   hostname = [ve-1028.local]
   address = [fe80::218:51ff:xxxx:xxxx]
   port = [3689]

I can't explain that... Why IPv4 multicast are ignored?
