@charleshb: This isn't the same bug as #1086459 which involves mdns returning NOTFOUND before dns is tried. Whereas you already have dns before mdns on the "hosts" line in your /etc/nsswitch.conf.
You may be suffering from bug #1003842. Please comment out "dns=dnsmasq" in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and then do: sudo stop network-manager sudo killall dnsmasq sudo start network-manager and see if this fixes the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1086459 Title: Name resolution over VPN fails; mdns4_minimal returns NOTFOUND To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nss-mdns/+bug/1086459/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
