The nsswitch.conf(4) man page incorrectly states that the default criteria for DNS
is "[SUCCESS=return NOTFOUND=continue UNAVAIL=continue TRYAGAIN=continue]".
Where as in fact the default for DNS (since at least Solaris 8) has been:
"[SUCCESS=return NOTFOUND=continue UNAVAIL=continue TRYAGAIN=3]"
And for when no DNS servers are responding the fix for 4530367 added
the new action "TRYAGAIN_PAUSED" which affectively implies
"[SUCCESS=return NOTFOUND=continue UNAVAIL=continue
TRYAGAIN=continue]" until a successful response is received. When the
previous action is restored (by default TRYAGAIN=3).
