If installed in \fB/etc/nsswitch.conf\fP, it will act on -programs calling \fBgethostbyaddr\fP(3) and related functions and -attempt to request the specified host's fully qualified domain name -over ICMP. -.P -In order to do so, \fBnss-icmp\fP relies on the \fBidnlookup\fP(1) -program being installed on the system. It also implements a cache, -which will remember the remote host's response for as long as the TTL -(Time-to-Live) value in the response specifies. It will also remember -non-responsive hosts, so that time-outs will not have to happen twice. -.P -The first time \fBnss-icmp\fP is called, it will read a configuration -file, which by default will be named \fB/etc/nss-icmp.conf\fP -(although this name can be changed during compilation). The -configuration file specifies certain parameters to control how -\fBnss-icmp\fP operates. Its file format is described in the -\fBnss-icmp.conf\fP(5) man page. -.SH AUTHOR -Fredrik Tolf -.SH SEE ALSO -\fBidnlookup\fP(1), \fBicmpdnd\fP(8), \fBnsswitch.conf\fP(5), -\fBnss-icmp.conf\fP(5), \fIRFC 1788\fP
