I recently noticed that I have been getting warnings

Too many objects for client ':1.15', client request failed.

I must admit I didn't know I was running avahi on the server
bad
both, running a not needed daemon as well as open the port in the firewall
you should diable any unused daemon and close *any* incoming port
except for the services you offer
But my real query is whether avahi (or zeroconf)
could actually offer me anything useful.
I'm running dhcpd on the server,
and I'm not looking for information about printers
or other users on my home network.
no, you do not need it on a server
the only useful for me is discover netatalk/AFP on the LAN so
the fileserver appears in the finder of Apple-Clients and
even this is not hardly needed because "connect to
server -> afp:/dfdfd/" works well enough
