Ubuntu 8 - problems with ‘.local’ DNS addresses

After installing Ubuntu 8 Hardy Heron at the office, I was having trouble reaching the ‘.local’ DNS entries we have on our internal network. Here’s what I did to resolve the problem:

$ sudo vi /etc/nsswitch.conf

Replace:
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4

with:
hosts: files dns
