Description
Every now and then I need to either get local IP addresses or access devices with dynamic addresses advertised via avahi/Bonjour - Especially for maintenance of different home devices.
iSH however does not resolve `.local` addresses, like in `ping xyz.local` or `ssh abc@xyz.local`.
As far as my understanding goes iSH would need to add/request multicast entitlement to be able to do this. I hope this is something to be considered.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by investigating iSH's networking path and the iOS multicast entitlement requirements for Bonjour or Avahi `.local` resolution. Verify the behavior with `ping xyz.local` and `ssh abc@xyz.local`; done means local advertised hostnames resolve in iSH.
