Hmm, from my understanding the backend should be available after DNS
resolving works again.

Does the backend stay dead after /etc/resolv.conf being corrected?

Not sure about that. The NSS and PAM responders serve cached data from
the local DB even in the case all backends are marked dead. Of course
this does not help you if there's no cached data available yet.

Ciao, Michael.
