[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, Recently one of our local user has found that he was unable to use hosts(5) to override "localhost" lookup that happens in DNS, while doing rpc_clnt_create. A preliminary investigate of this seems to be related to nsdispatch, by replacing: hosts: files dns With: hosts: files in /etc/nsswitch.conf, it does not query DNS. Before diving into NSSWITCH code, I'd like to know if this is expected behavior? Say, when we have a match in hosts(5), should we even bother to query DNS if configured hosts: files dns?
