Bad configuration for the reverse DNS #7

Description

@abdomit

This line:

sed -i 's/mdns4_minimal/mdns/' /etc/nsswitch.conf

changes the default configuration in /etc/nsswitch.conf.

Replacing mdns4_minimal with mdns generates issues at my home institute.
The reverse DNS hangs for approximately 10 seconds because the mdns method does not work.
A command as simple as ping hostname hangs a few seconds before starting to really ping hostname.
Doing apt-get update is also very slow because of this.

Is this change of configuration really necessary?
