Gentoo Linux's default /etc/nsswitch.conf contains "hosts: files dns", and the corresponding test program output looks like this:
$ ./getaddrinfo monthu.horus-it.com Hostname: monthu.horus-it.com Addresses: 176.9.43.216 When I change the setting to "hosts: dns files", the output changes to the following: $ ./getaddrinfo monthu.horus-it.com Hostname: monthu.horus-it.com Addresses: 2a01:4f8:150:54c1::b009:2bd8 176.9.43.216 Isn't this an odd result with the given contents of /etc/hosts? -Ralph
