I did that. I then allowed
protocols served from zone 'multicast' to clients in Local (OK)
buth then the firewall it drops mypackets when I try with avahi-discover
like this
DROPPED IN=eth0 OUT= MAC= SRC=192.168.15.1 DST=224.0.0.251 LEN=82 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=255 ID=0 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=5353 DPT=5353 LEN=62

Any ideas?
