Description : host name resolution for Microsoft style ipv6-literal.net IPv6 addresses
A module for the Name Service Switch (NSS) providing host name
resolution for Microsoft style ipv6 literal DNS names. In windows UNC
path names cannot contain the : character. Therefore MS has reserved a
second level domain name (ipv6-literal.net), that is used to resolve
ipv6 translated addresses so that an ipv6 address can actually be used
in an UNC string. All : characters are translated into - and the
scope-id is added to the address after the s character. For example:
.
$ getent hosts fe80--1s1.ipv6-literal.net
fe80::1 fe80--1s1.ipv6-literal.net
