Hi, all.  For service discovery on a cloud subnet, I'm trying to get the 
different VM's to resolve each other -- by strong preference, seamlessly 
-- via Avahi.  And it works... kinda:

root@clients-1:~# avahi-resolve -n -4 kentest.local
kentest.local   192.168.243.16   # This is a good thing


These, not so much good:
root@clients-1:~# ping kentest.local
ping: unknown host kentest.local
root@clients-1:~# host kentest.local
Host kentest.local not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)


Here's my pertinent nsswitch line:
hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns


Since the daemon is clearly replying with correct info, I assume I'm 
doing something wrong client-side (though as I've never done this 
before, I guess it could still be a server-side issue).  Any hints or 
ideas?

Thanks,

-Ken
