As I found this bug accidentally after years, just small remark:
a) The firm I work for keeps naming hosts in internal network
«name».ourfirm.local. Those addresses are omnipresent (from network
config to myriads of development/test/staging/whatever environments and
config files), so advice to abandon them is unlikely to be considered.
Ah, and we started our naming convention in 1997 or so. Zeroconf was
born in 2002 on Mac, appeared on Linuxes around 2007-2010, and was RFCed
in 2013 :-P
b) Still, this simply means that our „linux installation checklist” contains
request to edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and remove
mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return]
Having said that, I still have no clue why avahi couldn't restrict itself to
non-dns-resolvable addresses and leave those resolvable to DNS.
