mDNS was designed for small networks of around 1000 clients maximum.   
I doubt it would scale to 50,000 clients, given that all those  
clients would need to be on the same subnet (logical link).  But if  
you were to put 50,000 clients on a single subnet, you would have  
other performance issues to worry about regardless of mDNS.


I thought the latest incarnations of Zeroconf allowed traversal of subnets?
