Research direction

Start by investigating .local hostname resolution on Photon 3.0 and the reported nsswitch.conf behavior. Reproduce the failure with a company.local hostname and determine what configuration or resolver component prevents it from resolving. Done means company.local hostnames resolve correctly on Photon 3.0.
