Using .local DNS names

Up until now,  the Rune installations (based on ArchLinux) haven't been able to use the Bonjour .local domain to do lookups. They broadcast their own hostnames, so they can be seen from other places, but they can't see each other or the server. Boring.

How do you fix this?? Answer here...

Install nss-mdns:

pacman -S nss-mdns

Tell C libs to use mDNS:

vi /etc/nsswitch.conf

Add the value mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] in the hosts line...

Then it works!

I think I should tell Frank on the Rune forum about this...
