I switch it off wherever possible, because it adds a new can of worms
to networking. I have things on my LAN that can only use DHCP, and
only want one network configuration control to deal with. Avahi is a
bit of a loose cannon.
MDNS is orthogonal to DHCP. The devices still use DHCP to get their IP
address. MDNS is for other devices to find them on the network.
"Multicast DNS". Nothing to do with network configuration at all.
