+        systemd ships with three NSS modules:

+        configured IP addresses, as well as "localhost" to
+        127.0.0.1/::1.
+

+
+        nss-mymachines enables resolution of all local containers
+        registered with machined to their respective IP addresses.
+
+        To make use of these NSS modules, please add them to the
+        "hosts: " line in /etc/nsswitch.conf. The "resolve" module
+        should replace the glibc "dns" module in this file.
