What _should_ happen is this: When your network goes down, you get a "no
route to host" from DNS rather quickly and thus DNS fails quickly.

Our default is a sane one: "It is recommended to put myhostname last in
the nsswitch.conf line to make sure that this mapping is only used as
fallback, and any DNS or /etc/hosts based mapping takes precedence."
