Bug Description

On 16.04 and 18.04 hosts on my LAN I've been suffering intermittent loss of mDNS resolution after devices have been suspended and resumed.

Today I decided to investigate and noticed that on resume the hostname being advertised is changed.

E.g.

hephaestion.local == Cold Boot
hephaestion-1.local == 1st suspend/resume
hephaestion-2.local == 2nd suspend/resume
...
etc.

It can be reset by restarting the service:

systemctl restart avahi-daemon
