Unix NSS defaults Josh> to local configuration, no? Hmm. You still run into the DHCP problem. /etc/resolv.conf gets overridden by your visited dhcp. So now I'm querying myhost.hsd1.ma.comcast.net or whatever rather than myhostname.painless-security.com. It may be our best option, but it feels sad to go down that route given how much we've been struggling to find a better answer in Kerberos land. for Kerberos, we're moving to accepting any key in the local keytab with the right service. Unfortunately, we don't have anything like that that serves as a list of local aliases.
