This is still a bug though since mdns ideally should kick in only from nss_dns so that the nsswitch order is respected. I currently cannot make this issue high priority for me, however, so I can't promise when will I get to fix it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
