I also meant to point out that if you select nscd rather than a local 
caching server, you don't need 127.0.0.1 in resolv.conf.  glibc connects 
to nscd via a Unix socket rather than via IP.  The same is true of sssd 
on newer releases of Fedora.  (nscd is, I believe, deprecated by Fedora 
in favor of sssd).
