It works under Linux, my sound server at home and the printers at work use this quite satisfactorily. I would caution against using it in a cluster however, it's design-goal and benefit are to handle changing network environments where devices are being added to and removed from the network frequently. This is the polar opposite of what you should try and aim for in a cluster where the hardware configuration is known in advance and for the most part constant. In addition it used to be the case there were performance issues associated with using zeroconf on large networks and the last thing you want in a cluster is additional network traffic clogging up the system.
