I can't reproduce this in my test environment with the latest code from
the 0.9 branch. Can you post output from nslcd -d while performing this
query? Also running
  strace getent hosts HOSTNAME
might provide more information on why getent is hanging.

Hostname resolution is a complicated beast that is influenced by
configuration in half a dozen files. Can you provide /etc/nswitch.conf,
/etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nslcd.conf? Is (u)nscd running?

There was a fix in the NSS module in 0.9.5 related to handling of IPv6
addresses, see:

If you are running Debian I suggest you file a bug in the BTS so this
can be tracked there.

Thanks,
