[snip] On Avahi: well, the job it SHOULD do is: to announce the services running on the machine to the network. As this is done via broadcast, these announcements should not be routed to outside, anyway.
But yes, there are many admins, who do not like this 'auto-discovery' stuff. To 'MS Windows' / 'Apple MacOS' like, not 'pure' or 'hardcore' enough.
I beg your pardon. What *possible* reason is there for a server, hardwired, to "announce" itself to anything, other than DHCP? Everywhere I've worked, and what I know, is that servers are assigned IP addresses, they don't just take whatever's offered, willy-nilly. And if they do... I do *not* want to work there. That's not only unprofessional, it's an insane security risk. Suppose someone puts their laptop on the intranet, and has *it* running a DHCP server?
Sorry, but lookup was Avahi really is before posting anything else on this: Start-point: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avahi_%28software%29
Avahi is NOT about addresses of a box, its about services (e.g. ssh, http, ftp) running on this box, and announceing them via answering a broadcast.
What you have done is exactly what we others are exposing here as uninformed and and ignorant by those in charge.
Do you really want to show yourself here in that light? - Just asking.
