What is the current situation about that issue?

According to https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4428
that has been fixed in getaddrinfo, but not in gethostbyaddr.

See manapge for nscd.conf, for me it looks like it is intended
behavior of that setting.

   persistent service bool
  bool  must  be  one of yes (default) or no.  Keep the content of
  the  cache  for  service  over  nscd(8)  restarts.  Useful  when
  paranoia mode is set.

Does it work if that is set to no?
