So far we recommended placing "nss-mymachines" after "nss-resolve" in the order of preference in /etc/nsswitch.conf. This change reverse this order. Rationale: single-label names are resolved via LLMNR by resolved, which has to time out if no peer by that name exists. By placing "nss-mymachines" first (which always responds immediately) we avoid running into this timeout for most containers. Both modules should return the same data if LLMNR is used by the container anyway. While we are at it, improve the man pages of the three NSS modules in other ways a bit.

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><command>nss-resolve</command> is a plug-in module for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of the
|
|
GNU C Library (<command>glibc</command>) enabling it to resolve host names via the
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> local network
|
|
name resolution service. It replaces the <command>nss-dns</command> plug-in module that traditionally resolves
|
|
hostnames via DNS.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>To activate the NSS module, add <literal>resolve</literal> to the line starting with
|
|
<literal>hosts:</literal> in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>It is recommended to place <literal>resolve</literal> early in <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>'
|
|
<literal>hosts:</literal> line (but after the <literal>files</literal> or <literal>mymachines</literal> entries),
|
|
replacing the <literal>dns</literal> entry if it exists, to ensure DNS queries are always routed via
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-resolved</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that <command>nss-resolve</command> will chain-load <command>nss-dns</command> if
|
|
<filename>systemd-resolved.service</filename> is not running, ensuring that basic DNS resolution continues to work
|
|
if the service is down.</para>
