bonjour gateway - {printers} rolling brownout?

We successfully have bonjour gateway setup in our zone director, but we're seeing a strange, frequently recurring issue.  It's easiest to see from a macbook, with the Add Printer dialogue box open.  The printers may show up fine, but then periodically and frequently, drop off of the list... just gone.  Wait for a while, and they will show back up all on their own.  Note though, that you can force them to reappear, by logging into the ZD, going to the BG setup section, and clicking the "apply" button for both configured sections (but not making any changes.)

Why is this, and how do we get it to be rock solid reliable?  I need an end user to have access to either print to, or add a printer, at any time.

Thanks,
Michael

Bonjour protocol is based on multicast DNS and a non-routable Layer 2 protocol which means, only AirPrint and AirPlay client in the same subnet can recognize each other. Know more
