Description Stoicescu Cornel 2013-01-03 13:11:13 UTC 
Original bug 2502 description:

nsswitch.conf says:

hosts: files dns mdns4

This means that for a .local lookup it does a DNS lookup *first*. Which will fail. Urgh.

The recommended solution is to use nss_mdns >= 0.8 (released 2006) and:

hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4

(see http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/nss-mdns/)
