### mDNS in L2 Network
94+
If you are running in an L2 network (for instance, in a typical home network) you can use mDNS
95+
and publish the same `.local` domain (something like `incus.local`) from multiple hosts.
96+
97+
More than one host may send a reply in response to the multicast request, and the client
98+
will receive multiple mDNS response packets - this way, at the cost of packet flood,
99+
you get a simple way to ensure you reach *some* cluster node.
