If I remove [notfound=return] then there is a 3 second delay for mdns to return but it does fallback to DNS. I have to completely remove mdns4_minimal [notfound=return] to just use DNS. Of course my local network is a .local domain so it seems at least in my case mdns cannot really be used effectively. I never understood these logical meta languages. Pam is another example. It's basically just an obscure way of writing code so it's not obvious to me why this isn't just scripted so that someone has the option of making them work together (call both mDNS and DNS async and then return first to respond).
