Public bug reported:
On Jaunty, the problem was detecting when a Zimbra Desktop instance stopped
working, saying the mail server couldn't be found.
After some time, I found that the /etc/nsswitch.conf was configured like this :
[...]
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
[...]
As I understand it, this means that if files or mdns4_minimal doesn't
find the host, it fails.
So I had to manually move the "dns" clause before the [NOTFOUND] clause,
and then it works again.
I think the /etc/nsswitch.conf was last updated on march 5th.
