<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>

<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
group: compat mymachines
shadow: compat
hosts: files mymachines <command>resolve</command> myhostname
networks: files
protocols: db files
services: db files
ethers: db files
rpc: db files
netgroup: nis</programlisting>
