Package: x2goclient Severity: wishlist

Just discussed an idea with Stefan on VideoChat. How about providing code in X2Go Client that tries to auto-detect local network broker setups automatically (zeroconf X2Go Client).

Approaches would be:

o retrieve the domain's SRV records and check if special records for X2Go Broker setups can be found o use a similar approach like browsers use for wpad.dat o make this configurable in X2Go Client settings

2 other local network options are:

o "zeroconf" (Avahi/Bonjour) o SSDP/UPnP.

However, on Windows at least, firewalls are likely to block them.
