Hi Dave, Thanks for your reply.
http://files.multicastdns.org/draft-cheshire-dnsext-multicastdns.txt
which says: "Any DNS query for a name ending with ".local." MUST be sent to the mDNS multicast address (224.0.0.251 or its IPv6 equivalent FF02::FB)".
Yes, this is true, but 'getent' is not DNS and must respect the lookup order defined in /etc/nsswitch.conf. The mDNS query should only come if there's no entry in /etc/hosts. It's a bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435261 Workaround is to set "mdns off" in /etc/host.conf Bye Bernd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
