            Whether to enable the mDNS NSS (Name Service Switch) plug-in.
            Enabling it allows applications to resolve names in the `.local'
            domain by transparently querying the Avahi daemon.

            Warning: Currently, enabling this option breaks DNS lookups after
            a `nixos-rebuild'.  This is because `/etc/nsswitch.conf' is
            updated to use `nss-mdns' but `libnss_mdns' is not in
            applications' `LD_LIBRARY_PATH'.  The next time `/etc/profile' is
            sourced, it will set up an appropriate `LD_LIBRARY_PATH', though.
