Title:
  Avahi-daemon-check-dns.sh takes too much time on every connecting to
  network

Status in “avahi” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Every time I connect to network using NetworkManager, 10s is spent on
  checking if avahi may be run, which is majority of connecting time.

  Control flow is as follows -> NetworkManager -> /sbin/resolvconf ->
  /etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc -> /etc/resolvconf/update-libc.d/avahi-
  daemon -> /usr/lib/avahi/avahi-daemon-check-dns.sh -> host -t soa
  .local

  If everything is alright (no .local domain, avahi may be run) host shall fail due to timeout, which by default takes 10s.
  I believe either dns lookup timeout should be lowered (host -t soa -W 1 .local) or the avahi-daemon-check-dns.sh script shall be run asynchronously.

  It is particularly annoying when waking up from suspend - resume takes
  3s, main part of network configuration 4s, but then avahi 10s.

  To reproduce:
  nmcli d disconnect iface <interface>; time nmcli c up id <your network>
  chmod -x  /usr/lib/avahi/avahi-daemon-check-dns.sh
  nmcli d disconnect iface <interface>; time nmcli c up id <your network>
  Or just:
  time /usr/lib/avahi/avahi-daemon-check-dns.sh
