So is there something wrong with the solution presented in the wiki
page? Because that is generally the answer we recommend: If you want any
name resolution other than DNS, write a proxy that does what you want
and point resolv.conf to it. Similarly, if you want any user database
lookup other than local files, write an nscd proxy that does what you
want.
Reason for that is that that is the most generic way to support any
other name service besides DNS. It avoids the dependency on dynamic
loading that something like glibc's nsswitch would create, and would
avoid having multiple backends in libc. I really don't think anyone
wants to open that particular door. Once mDNS is in there, someone will
add NetBIOS, just you wait.
Ciao,
Markus
