If anyone is interested, here's a related issue: bug# 788274 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/788274
I recently attached some tcpdumps with the report. The experience is different from that of the original reporter. tweaking in either /etc/nsswitch.conf or /etc/resolv.conf does not help much. Hence it is not an exact duplicate of this. It is extremely annoying!!! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/94940 Title: mdns listed in nsswitch.conf causes excessive time for dns lookups To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/avahi/+bug/94940/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
