For information, this is how Mac OS X "handles" the situation; From: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA20999?viewlocale=en_US "Note: If you have set up a private DNS server that resolves names in the .local domain, computers using Mac OS X 10.2 will not use the DNS server to resolve these names. This may result in unexpected failures to connect to hostnames defined by your server. You should use a different domain, such as .home, .office, or .lan for DNS on private networks."
They just ignore the .local domain in DNS - should we do the same? Or just start it anyway and have avahi take precedence over dns in nsswitch.conf? -- Some ISPs have .local domain which disables avahi-daemon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/327362 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
