Do you have any network printers?  That work without having mDNS enabled?

Originally I had an /etc/nsswitch.conf with a cut down hosts: line
  hosts:          files dns
and no matter what I did I could not print to the network-attached printer.
 ... which, to be fair, could just be my ignorance wrt to printing.
But switch back to an /etc/nsswitch.conf with
  hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns
and I could print.
