Thanks for the links Andrew :-)

mdnsresponder seems to be some apple-inspired zero configuration network plug 
and play thing:

http://developer.apple.com/macosx/rendezvous/index.html

 Rendezvous enables automatic discovery of computers, devices, and services on 
IP networks. Also known as zero-configuration networking, Rendezvous uses 
industry standard IP protocols to allow devices to automatically find each 
other without the need to enter IP addresses or configure DNS servers. 
Rendezvous is an open protocol, which Apple has submitted to the IETF as part 
of the ongoing standards-creation process. In order to provide a true 
zero-configuration experience, Rendezvous requires that devices implement 
three essential things. These devices must be able to

    * allocate IP addresses without a DHCP server
    * translate between names and IP addresses without a DNS server
    * locate or advertise services without using a directory server
