A default installation of Microsoft Small Business Server Essentials 2011 will use a .local domain. It is quite tedious to override this choice (http://titlerequired.com/2011/08/02/installing-sbs-essentials- using-an-answer-file/). Anyone using Ubuntu on such a network has to remove the default mDNS entries from the nsswitch.conf file. Not helpful.
Note that SBS 2011 is a current product, so we can expect there to be many mycompany.local domains in use. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/94940 Title: mdns listed in nsswitch.conf causes excessive time for dns lookups To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/94940/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
