Just ran into this myself with 12.04. The problem is nsswitch.conf is:
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 which means looks up check hosts, mdns and if mdns reports a not found then it doesn't go to DNS. Switching it to hosts: files dns mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] mdns4 fixes it by having DNS get checked first. IMO this should be the out-of- the-box configuration since the historical trend would be the DNS is serving names and should get precedence anyway. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/80900 Title: problems resolving fully qualified domain names in environments where .local is used as a TLD To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/80900/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
