mDNS not resolving

[FlangeMonkey]

I'm unsure if this is related to the below bug report, but I thought I'd create a new thread.

http://forums.freenas.org/threads/9-2-1-mdnsresponder-messages.18317/

I'm unable to resolve clients (can only test with Mac) through mDNS. I can however resolve freenas.local from other devices.

I'm not familiar with mDNS but I am seeing the mDNSResponder service status as:

[root@freenas] ~# service mdnsresponder status
Will not 'status' mdnsresponder because mdnsresponder_enable is NO

dlavigne, suggested using onestart but I receive the message:

mDNSResponderPosix: You must specify a service name to register (-n) or a service file (-f).
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mdnsresponder: WARNING: failed to start mdnsresponder

Any suggestions?

Edit: I'm also seeing the below when I run service -e:

Got the same problem running latest version of freenas.

"service mdnsresponder onestart" worked at first using the command line, but after a remote reboot, using SSH the same command gives the same problem as you have.
