+ <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>
+ </refsect1>
+
+ <refsect1>
+ <title>Example</title>
+
+ <para>Here is an example <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename> file that enables <command>nss-resolve</command>
+ correctly:</para>
+
+<programlisting>passwd: compat mymachines systemd
+group: compat mymachines systemd
+shadow: compat
+
+hosts: files mymachines <command>resolve [!UNAVAIL=return]</command> dns myhostname
+networks: files
+
+protocols: db files
+services: db files
+ethers: db files
+rpc: db files
+
+netgroup: nis</programlisting>
+
+ <para>This keeps the <command>dns</command> module as a fallback for cases where the <command>nss-resolve</command>
+ module is not installed.</para>
