Here's a more up-to-date link than the one I gave in comment #22.

    https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/serverguide/network-configuration.html

The relevant passage hasn't changed: it still says "if you prefer to use
legacy Unicast DNS versus Multicast DNS, you can change the string in
/etc/nsswitch.conf as shown below."

    hosts: files dns [NOTFOUND=return] mdns4_minimal mdns4

But based on my incomplete understanding of nss-mdns I would think that
in this sequence mdns4_minimal is redundant. This should be equivalent
but faster:

    hosts: files dns [NOTFOUND=return] mdns4

Please let me know if I'm overlooking something.
