All of glibc's mdns lookup come from nss_dns, so the problem really isn't that the nss order isn't used. What's happening is that glibc first tries a IPv6 lookup. As there is no IPv6 match in /etc/hosts, the nss_dns module is asked which does a mdns lookup for the IPv6 address. After that request times out, an IPv4 lookup is tried which returns immediately, as /etc/hosts matches. (As a workaround we could disable IPv6 MDNS lookups in glibc's mdns code) -- 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.
