Is there an easy way to scan a given network for Bonjour/Zeroconf services?

I have a set of computers (Linux, Windows, Apple) and would like to auto-generate a list of all available Zeroconf-capable, networked nodes in my Intranet.

I haven't used it, but you might want to take a look at the Mono Project's Zeroconf library.

It looks like they have a query tool mzclient that may help you.

If nothing else, you should be able to build something in C# using that library.

A: 

If using Linux and the Avahi-Daemon, it looks like Avahi-Discover is worth an investigation.

You'll obviously have to download/install/launch it though. On Ubuntu/Debian, you can use the following:

% sudo apt-get install ahahi-discover

And launch GUI with:

% avahi-discover
