Avahi provides simple name resolution on the local network. Nominally zero-configuration, but obviously something needs to add hosts and services.
nss-mdns makes it possible to use standard DNS queries using nsswitch.
Avahi is available under Cygwin, but I don't know if the equivalent of nss-mdns exists. Still, we might be able to explicitly query Avahi under Cygwin.
