Is LLMNR supposed to work with RFC 3927 IPv4 link-local address
autoconfiguration? In which case it's also theoretically impossible for
LLMNR to be consistent with the DNS. (Consistency would require dynamic
DNS updates, and if they work your DHCP server should also be working, in
which case you won't have an RFC 3927 address.)
