Description

Adds an NSS plugin that lets glibc resolve host names through multicast DNS. It enables local .local-style name resolution for devices and services on the same network.

Use it when local network discovery through mDNS is needed. Name resolution changes can affect how applications reach hosts, so avoid conflicts with managed DNS policies.
