Did you copy over /etc/nsswitch.conf.dns to /etc/nsswitch.conf ?

Looks like you missed that step.

(Solaris 10+) Copy it, and do 'svcadm refresh network/physical'. If refresh doesn't do it, try restart.

(Solaris 8) Copy it, and unplumb and re-plumb your interfaces.

cp -ir /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf
svcadm enable svc:/network/dns/client:default
svcadm restart svc:/system/name-service-cache:default
