Looks like your /etc/inet/hosts file needs a localhost entry put back into it or else the linking of /etc/hosts and /etc/inet/hosts has been lost.
Put:
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost
into /etc/inet/hosts if not already present and ensure that /etc/hosts is a link to /etc/hosts (hard or symbolic).
Then try nslookup again.
Update:
Should have looked a bit more closely, the resolv.conf file does not list an active nameserver, the only one listed is commented out, I suggest you either try uncommenting out the one already listed in your resolv.conf and/or find out what the IP address of the DNS server on your network is and out it into your resolv.conf. This is why nslookup is trying to use localhost as the DNS server.

This is just give some overview of our setup we have two solaris fujitsu servers running with solaris 9 version and both are in active - active mode with veritas clustering, and on this servers we have Database on single server and on second server Application Tier.
1) I verified the link between /etc/hosts and /etc/inet/hosts it is there.
root $ls -ltr hosts
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Oct 17 2005 hosts -> ./inet/hosts
2)I checked the below entry in /etc/hosts file its not there , if I made entry in this file do we face any impact due to this modification .
