>Description:
The nsswitch.conf(5) man page incorrectly specifies:

mdnsd            Use mdnsd(8) for ?hosts? lookups

instead of:

mdns             Use mdnsd(8) for ?hosts? lookups
>How-To-Repeat:
Modify /etc/nsswitch.conf as follows:

hosts:          files mdnsd dns

Then ping www.netbsd.org => ping does not respond for a long time.
Then ping a machine on your local network => same delay (if your router acts as a DNS server) or error (otherwise).
>Fix:
Modify /etc/nsswitch.conf as follows:

hosts:          files mdns dns

Then ping www.netbsd.org => ping responds instantly.
Then ping a machine on your local network => ping also responds instantly.
