Running the attached config in a QEMU image, 'avahi-resolve .local' works but 'ssh .local' fails w/ "Name or service not known". E.g, ... g1@server02 ~$ avahi-resolve --name nemo.local nemo.local fe80::1ccf:c589:7e5f:a21f g1@server02 ~$ ssh -vvv nemo.local OpenSSH_7.6p1, OpenSSL 1.0.2n 7 Dec 2017 debug2: resolving "nemo.local" port 22 ssh: Could not resolve hostname nemo.local: Name or service not known g1@server02 ~$ guix --version guix (GNU Guix) 0.14.0-9.bdf0c64 TIA - George
