/etc/nsswitch.conf has a line: hosts: files myhostname mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns

So I'm guessing that the nc.local is being resolved by "myhostname", not mdns4_minimal.

I don't understand why "myhostname" is in there (but that's probably a failing on my part). What if you switch "myhostname" and "mdns4_minimal" in nsswitch.conf and restart whichever services necessary, see if that works? Fingers crossed it's that simple and you're up & running afterwards. rb
