Q: How to setup Wide Area Bonjour across multiple Subnets?

Hi Gents,

It's been painful trying to get this up and i feel i am almost there, but can seem to complete the last bit

I have this network i am helping to manage

OS X Lion Server running

     DNS

     RADIUS

     Open Directory

 

So the wifi network is in a seperate subsnet from the LAN on which the Mac Server is connected to which posses the problem of Bonjour not routed between the two subnets. So i decided to enable Wide-Area bonjour browsing and create a Service record for afp share folders. So i have got to the point where it's coming up on devices on the seperate subnet under the network icon, however when i try to connect to the service it just says connection failed. Authentication is occuring because if i use wrong credentials it doesn't attempt to connect.

I believe it might be the way i am defining TXT. I have little experience here, any assistance would be appreciated

 

This is the configruation in DNS Settings on Server Admin

Service Name: Work\03****\03\you

Service Type: _afpovertcp._tcp.

Host: work.damnyou.org.

Port: 548

Priority: 1

Weigth: 0

TXT: "path=PUBLIC/"

 

Anytime i attempt to connect, it just says Connection Failed

 

Thanks,
