Ubuntu and (dot).local addresses – Avahi
August 26th, 2010 Posted in Debian, LinuxI have a Ubuntu server where there was a problem with .local address, i could’t look up the zone from the server.
After a little search i found that Avahi (Zeroconf) was the problem.
The default setup of Avahi, is to look for the zone in mDNS, if that failed the resolv failed.
So to fix this, edit /etc/nsswitch.conf
Change this line hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
To: hosts: files dns mdns4_minimal mdns4If you like this content, please support me and press the google adsense in the top of this post, thank you
