So how does > avahi catch dns lookups and answer it ? avahi-dnsconfd is simply a daemon which allows local configuration of DNS servers with nameserver addresses that are supplied via special mDNS RRs. It has very little sensible use actually. The reason I implemented it was mostly to complete the spec. Distributions should not instal this daemon by default. nss-mdns is responsible for resolving .local names. It is enabled via /etc/nsswitch.conf, and works independently of classic unicast DNS.
