[idea] "daemon" to resolve .local domains "locally"

hi..... i had a crazy idea ... but too bad i haven't the knowledge to do it myself :/

most old android versions doesn't support mdns .local domain resolution, that was implemented just recently in android 9-10 i guess (after 10 years!!)

especially for IoT, would be very practical to just open your browser and just type "arduino-bot.local" or "raspi-tv.local" transparently, without the need to lookup the hostname in a separate app (like this :) to directly write the ip ... but for this reansparency works the domain resolution needs to be integrated on the system.... we also don't want to bother clients (or parents, or grandpas, usually non skilled in technology) with additional procedures

i imagine a daemon, or a background app, that frequently scans the network to discover mdns hosts (like this) and maintains a local list, and later starts a local dns server with results,... or an updated hosts file. or somewhere in ram where these tables are, or whatever

another way could be to intercept dns queries somewhere, or failed dns queries... (thus avoiding the mentioned polling and delays), ... so when domain was not found it performs the discovery and talks dns protocol locally (what dns servers do) to tell the app the correct ip address

another solution could be a tiny local dns server that intercepts dns queries and forwards to the "real" dns server,,, but when domain query ends with .local it do all the mdns discovery in bakcground itself and gives the result directly

i don't comprehend too much these mechanisms, i hope i made myself understood

App should targeted API level 30 as per google policies by November 2021.

As per google policies by November 2021, all the app updated must target Android 11(API level 30) but "DotLocalFinder" targeted SDK to 29.Please look into it and provide possible solution so that we will able to find Dot Local IP even after targeting to 30(if possible 31).
