DNS FQDN Name Resolution in Local Network

Problem link

You may have noticed that on Ubuntu, there is a problem resolving FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Names) for your local DNS servers.

Solution link

Simply edit the /etc/nsswitch.conf file and replace this line:

  hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
  

With:

  hosts:          files dns mdns4
  

And just like magic, everything works! :-)
