You forgot:
* Allow statically-linked programs to use dynamic NSS modules by forking a (dynamically-linked) resolver process when needed.
This leads to a related, but widely disparaged option:
* Have a persistent NSS caching daemon with an RPC interface that all programs can access for NSS lookups. You might call such a program `nscd'. (Might as well be honest about it.)
Jacques seems to be of the opinion that the current 'nscd' is not up to the task. He would know better than I.
