It replaces the +\fBnss\-dns\fR +plug\-in module that traditionally resolves hostnames via DNS\&. +.PP +To activate the NSS module, add +"resolve\ \&[!UNAVAIL=return]" +to the line starting with +"hosts:" +in +/etc/nsswitch\&.conf\&. Specifically, it is recommended to place +"resolve" +early in +/etc/nsswitch\&.conf\*(Aqs +"hosts:" +line\&. It should be before the +"files" +entry, since +systemd\-resolved +supports +/etc/hosts +internally, but with caching\&. To the contrary, it should be after +"mymachines", to give hostnames given to local VMs and containers precedence over names received over DNS\&. Finally, we recommend placing +"dns" +somewhere after +"resolve", to fall back to +\fBnss\-dns\fR +if +systemd\-resolved\&.service +is not available\&. +.PP +Note that +\fBsystemd\-resolved\fR +will synthesize DNS resource records in a few cases, for example for +"localhost" +and the current local hostname, see +\fBsystemd-resolved\fR(8) +for the full list\&. This duplicates the functionality of +\fBnss-myhostname\fR(8), but it is still recommended (see examples below) to keep +\fBnss\-myhostname\fR +configured in +/etc/nsswitch\&.conf, to keep those names resolveable if +\fBsystemd\-resolved\fR +is not running\&. +.PP +Please keep in mind that +\fBnss\-myhostname\fR +(and +\fBnss\-resolve\fR) also resolve in the other direction \(em from locally attached IP addresses to hostnames\&. If you rely on that lookup being provided by DNS, you might want to order things differently\&. +.PP +Communication between +\fBnss\-resolve\fR +and +systemd\-resolved\&.service +takes place via the +/run/systemd/resolve/io\&.systemd\&.Resolve +\fBAF_UNIX\fR +socket\&. +.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" +.PP +\fI$SYSTEMD_NSS_RESOLVE_VALIDATE\fR +.RS 4 +Takes a boolean argument\&.
