Time Machine Detection over Vpn via Dns-Sd?

I'm running a local DNS server in my home network (dnsmasq) and a Netatalk instance for Time Machine over WiFi. Due to limitations of Multicast over my VPN setup, my Time Machine does not get recognized over my IPSec Tunnel, because the Zeroconf / mDNS detection fails.

DNS-SD seems to be a solution for this, since I automatically get my local DNS over the VPN tunnel, but I cannot figure out, which entries have to be configured for this.

Which DNS entries have to be configured?

It's a bit too much to repeat here, but a definitive write-up of how to configure a unicast DNS server to support DNS-SD is available here:
