I am troubleshooting some network issues. Running wireshark and
watching traffic I notice I have many messages like this:

DNS Standard query AAAA localhost.vanguard.vashonsd.org
DNS Standard query response, no such name

I am running ubuntu Hardy 8.04.3.

/etc/hosts looks like

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.1.1       vbuntu vbuntu.vanguard.vashonsd.org
10.114.5.50     paul.vanguard.vashonsd.org      paul

my /etc/nsswitch.conf file has this entry

hosts            files dns wins

What exactly is going on here? It looks like the server is trying to query
a IP6 FQDN for localhost.

I see this but I am not sure it pertains.

Can anyone help me sort this out?

Thanks!
