For information, this is how Mac OS X "handles" the situation;

From: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA20999?viewlocale=en_US
"Note: If you have set up a private DNS server that resolves names in the .local domain, computers using Mac OS X 10.2 will not use the DNS server to resolve these names. This may result in unexpected failures to connect to hostnames defined by your server. You should use a different domain, such as .home, .office, or .lan for DNS on private networks."

They just ignore the .local domain in DNS - should we do the same? Or just start it anyway and have avahi take precedence over dns in nsswitch.conf?
