Dear Colleagues
/etc/nsswitch.conf decides on the services used for a
variety of name resolution requirements
the part of interreset for this question is :
hosts: files ----> this will only resolve hostnames
from the /etc/hosts file
but if you add 'dns' next to files ; then you activate the
name resolution service [otherwise called to DNS client] ;
that used to resolve names through hosts file to resolve
names [ this time through dns naming model] from the server
configured in /etc/resolve.conf
which may look something like this
myhost# cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain mydomain.internal
search mydomain.internal
options retry:1 timeout:1
nameserver 10.234.206.73
nameserver 10.10.98.38
this file direct the name resolution through the configured
nameserver ; and will search for a given hostname through
hosts file first then through DNS resolution by appending
the configured domain name
regards
