+
+ngIRCd supports one aspect of Zeroconf Networking[1]: Multicast DNS (mDNS[2])
+with DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD[3]).
+
+To use this features you can use one of two APIs:
+
+  a) Apple "Bonjour" API as used by Mac OS X,
+  b) the Howl[4] Zeroconf library.
+
+When calling the configure script using the "--with-zeroconf" switch the
+avalable API will be autodetected and the required additional libraries will
+be linked to the ngircd binary as required.
+
+ngIRCd then registers a DNS-SD service for each port it is listening on using
+the service type "_ircu._tcp.".
