Expert Info (Note/Sequence): is wrong for MDNS packets. 
[Expert Info (Note/Sequence): "Time To Live" > 1 for a packet sent to the Local
Network Control Block (see RFC 3171)]

See the following URL:
http://files.multicastdns.org/draft-cheshire-dnsext-multicastdns.txt

4. Source Address Check
   All Multicast DNS responses (including responses sent via unicast) SHOULD be
sent with IP TTL set to 255. This is recommended to provide
backwards-compatibility with older Multicast DNS clients that check the IP TTL
on reception to determine whether the packet originated on the local link.
These older clients discard all packets with TTLs other than 255.
