At a client site using a few Windows 2003 Servers, I would connect to an
Ubuntu vmware image that had DNS of lamp.custname.local regularly with
Gutsy beta.

During the beta I was out here quite a bit, but about a week before Gutsy 
launched until today I hadn't been out here.
Now when I plug my laptop into the network and try to ssh or ping 
lamp.custname.local I get nothing.

If I do an nslookup it returns the correct IP from the DNS server.

Doing a bit of stracing and debugging led me to nsswitch.conf and this
bug.

I changed nsswitch.conf like so:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc$ diff nsswitch.conf nsswitch.conf.old
11c11
< hosts:          files dns mdns4
---
> hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4

I can resolve stuff correctly out of DNS, but I can't resolve avahi
stuff--which I think is to be expected removing mdns4_minimal--but then
what is the mdns4 line for?
