New installations of Debian and Ubuntu enable it by default.

ohybridproxy won't help:
It is limited to mDNS/avahi.
Windows does not support mDNS/avahi.

It  would  help  though  if  DNSMasq  contained  a combined mDNS/LLMNR
resolver.

If  one  compiles avahi with an LLMNR patch, it can resolve hosts that
do mDNS and hosts that do LLMNR:

root at linux ~ # avahi-resolve -6n windows.local
windows.local   fe80::96de:80ff:fe12:3456

It  should be possible to add the LLMNR-patched resolver part of avahi
to DNSMasq.
