nixpkgs/modules/services/networking/avahi-daemon.nix
Eelco Dolstra e91d882a94 * Converted modules that were still using the old (concrete syntax)
style of declaring Upstart jobs.  While at it, converted them to the
  current NixOS module style and improved some option descriptions.
  Hopefully I didn't break too much :-)

Whether to enable the mDNS NSS (Name Service Switch) plug-in.
Enabling it allows applications to resolve names in the `.local'
domain by transparently querying the Avahi daemon.
Warning: Currently, enabling this option breaks DNS lookups after
a `nixos-rebuild'. This is because `/etc/nsswitch.conf' is
updated to use `nss-mdns' but `libnss_mdns' is not in
applications' `LD_LIBRARY_PATH'. The next time `/etc/profile' is
sourced, it will set up an appropriate `LD_LIBRARY_PATH', though.
