Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: base-files
After upgrading to latest edgy beta we started experiencing problems with local
DNS names resolution on upgraded desktops.
We have a setup for a local DNS server which is authoritative for the
yyyy.local zone. We have several hosts in the yyyy.local zone.
When doing "ping xxxx.yyyy.local" the name cannot be resolved. When doing the
"ping xxxx" the name resolves.
We have
--
nameserver x.y.z.m
search yyyy.local
--
in resolv.conf on all of the desktops.
We found the problem to be with /etc/nsswitch.conf
In dapper hosts line was:
--
hosts: files dns
--
and everything worked OK.
After upgrade the line got changed to
--
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
--
In strange behaiviour started to occur.
If we change the second (mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return]) and third (dns)
specifications thing went to normal.
Please investigate this problem in the resolver library and its default
configuration in feisty.
Thanks.
** Affects: base-files (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed

nsswitch.conf in feisty beta blocks resolution of names like xxxx.yyyy.local
