I like bringing nsswitch into FreeBSD. It will reduce maintainance
cost around resolver related routins.
When I merged KAME effort around fixing DNS query order problem from
NetBSD, I was forced to work with nsswitch -> host.conf issue.
Your nsswith support in getaddrinfo.c is quite different from NetBSD's
one. (maybe name6.c, too?) Why don't you simply bring the code from
NetBSD?
The origin of getadrinfo.c and name6.c is KAME, and basically these
files are same between NetBSD and FreeBSD except some OS depend part
such as reading host.conf. We should keep close these files to NetBSD
as possible.
