Has there been any progress on this issue? I experience slow DNS lookup times on *all* my machines with Ubuntu (including Lucid), but not on any version of Windows.
I can confirm that changing the "hosts" line in /etc/nsswitch.conf from: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 to: files mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns ...completely resolves the slow DNS lookup times. I assume this effectively enables IPv6 support for avahi-daemon, and taking into consideration that my router and ISP uses IPv4 addressing, I assume that this change will not break other legacy IPv4 setups either. Can we get someone with experience of the avahi-daemon to comment on the feasibility of this change? -- mdns listed in nsswitch.conf causes excessive time for dns lookups https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/94940 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
