The man page for bind9-host:s host say: "host is a simple utility for performing DNS lookups", and as far as I know it has never supposed to be more than a user friendly alternative to "dig". Since host is there among other things for diagnosing DNS problems, it has its own query and resolve logic, which makes it hard for it to follow nsswitch.conf.
If you want to get the view of what the libc resolver thinks "getent hosts" is a much better idea, and from IRC discussion this started out with a problem with sendmail using "host" instead of "getent host". -- bind9-host does not respect /etc/nsswitch.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/318828 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to bind9 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
