- <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>

- <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>
