+ <title>Description</title>
+
+ <para><command>nss-mymachines</command> is a plugin
+ for the GNU Name Service Switch (NSS) functionality of
+ the GNU C Library (<command>glibc</command>) providing
+ hostname resolution for containers running locally,
+ that are registered with
+ <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-machined.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The
+ container names are resolved to IP addresses of the
+ specific container, ordered by their scope.</para>
+
+ <para>To activate the NSS modules,
+ <literal>mymachines</literal> has to be added to the
+ line starting with <literal>hosts:</literal> in
+ <filename>/etc/nsswitch.conf</filename>.</para>
+
+ <para>It is recommended to place
+ <literal>mymachines</literal> near the end of the
+ <filename>nsswitch.conf</filename> line to make sure
+ that this mapping is only used as fallback, and any
+ DNS or <filename>/etc/hosts</filename> based mapping
+ takes precedence.</para>
