What did you do?

in remote DNS server
a.test.com reslove as 10.10.10.10
in /etc/hosts i hava a record
9.9.9.9 a.test.com

golang app will reslove a.test.com as 10.10.10.10
however , ping curl php app java app and so on will resolve a.test.com as 9.9.9.9

What did you expect to see?

when /etc/nsswitch.conf doesn't exist ，Go's DNS use file first
in this , golang app should resolve a.test.com as 9.9.9.9

What did you see instead?

golang app will reslove a.test.com as 10.10.10.10

Change https://golang.org/cl/249446 mentions this issue: net: change hostLookupOrder when /etc/nsswitch.conf not exists

The GNU/Linux man nsswitch.conf is clear, as is the implementation: if there is no hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf, the default is "dns [!UNAVAIL=return] files". And that is what the net package implements.

The behavior you are seeing is not due to the net package handling of /etc/nsswitch.conf. It's due to how the C getaddrinfo function works. The C function calls inet_aton and inet_pton before checking either DNS or /etc/hosts. In other words, the C function is not doing a DNS lookup; it's first checking whether it has an IP address. If that's the behavior you want, call net.ParseIP.

I'm going to close this issue because it is not a bug.
