Here it is:
$ getent -s resolve hosts $(hostname)
[2] $ systemctl status systemd-resolved.service
● systemd-resolved.service - Network Name Resolution
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-resolved.service;

The getent command prints nothing and exits with 2. And from strace, it
asks Google DNS, which is set in my /etc/resolv.conf:
$ strace -f getent -s resolve hosts "$(hostname)" |& grep recvfrom
recvfrom(6, "^\236\201\203\0\1\0\0\0\1\0\0\17PC12574\0\0\34\0"..., 1024, 0,
{sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("8.8.8.8")},
[28->16]) = 108
recvfrom(6, "\314d\201\203\0\1\0\0\0\1\0\0\17PC12574\0\0\1\0"..., 1024, 0,
{sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(53), sin_addr=inet_addr("8.8.8.8")},
[28->16]) = 108
Is it normal?
