NSS_MDNS.CONF(5)	       File Formats Manual		NSS_MDNS.CONF(5)

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  re-
     turned to libc and processing will continue according to nsswitch.conf(5).

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

	   domain x.y.z

     Enable  use  of libnss_mdns(8) to lookup DNS entries in the `x.y.z' domain.
     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

   Default configuration
     If the configuration file cannot be found then the following is assumed.

	   domain 0.8.e.f.ip6.int
	   domain 0.8.e.f.ip6.arpa
