Some of those protocols can have a look inside their own hosts file to find the answer (if they have one). However, that's going to go wrong if the devices don't get the same IP each time. Apparently mDNS can somehow get answers from a DHCP server. I'm not sure how it'd do that from mine, my DHCP server seems limited to:
mdns is independent. The device gets its IP address from the DHCP server and then it broadcasts that using mdns. Any other device on the network can see the broadcast or it can query the device's IP address by asking for "devicename.local". ".local" is reserved for mdns use. There's no dns involved at all.
