NAME
       nss_mdns.conf --	configuration file for libnss_mdns(8).

DESCRIPTION
       This  file describes the	domains	that libnss_mdns(8) is to support.  If
       a lookup	domain is not in this list, then NSS_STATUS_NOTFOUND  will  be
       returned	  to   libc   and   processing	 will  continue	 according  to
       nsswitch.conf(5).

   Configuration file format
       Lines containing	only whitespace	or lines  whose	 first	non-whitespace
       character  is `#' are ignored.  No single line may be greater than 1023
       characters plus end-of-line.

	     domain x.y.z

       Enable use of libnss_mdns(8) to lookup DNS entries in the  `x.y.z'  do-
       main.  Leading and trailing dots	are dropped.

       Reverse	(PTR)  lookups	are enabled using their	DNS names.  IPv6 names
       use "nibble format".

	     domain 254.169.in-addr.arpa
	     domain 0.8.e.f.ip6.arpa
