Oh I see, I'm so engaged in solving the problems with Avahi not running so I 
interpreted "I am blessed with a unicast .local domain." as an ironic 
statement, sorry for that... :) - but now I got Avahi working again with help 
of the procedure described on www.opendns.com. This made my DHCP configuration 
work again, combined with some effort in defining host and domain names 
provided from my ISP, which I put into my router (Linksys WRT54GS). Command
host -t soa local
returned
Host local not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) just as you said, so I think I will stay by 
that for now. In some cases I could find it practical to use static IP 
addressing though, so I might try it again sometime. Right now I put more value 
to my mtdaap server on my NAS. This gives me also some doubts to if the widely 
written avahi problem really is a bug, or if it maybe is more of a case of 
difficulty-to-tell-how-it-works...
Thanks for leading me in another direction anyway!

Cheers,
Ola
