I don't want to hardwire IP addresses down; want to rely on either DHCP addresses or link-local addresses if no DHCP server present. This drives us to using mDNS on the Kangaroo to get to the roboRIO.

What are people using for mDNS client for Windows based coprocessors? I could install the FRC Update to get the NI mDNS resolver (with the driver's station, etc), but was hoping for a lighter solution.
If you download the newest version of iTunes, you can actually extract the bonjour installer from that. You can just use WinRAR or 7zip on the full iTunes executable and grab the bonjour installer. NI's implementation of mDNS is based on bonjour, and it's working good for us.
