Full Discussion: configure DNS server on solaris
Operating Systems Solaris configure DNS server on solaris Post 302099161 by Tornado on Saturday 9th of December 2006 02:12:18 PM

Download this template(http://developers.sun.com/solaris/technotes/named.tar.Z) to a work directory, such as /var.
To unpack the file, at the command line type:

zcat name.tar.Z | tar xvf -

For quick installation, do the following:

1.Determine what type of DNS you want and what support information you need from your network provider, such as global caching DNS.

2.Edit the named.* files you need. For releases prior to Solaris 7, use named.boot, named.local, named.cache, named.mydomain, and named.mydomain.rev. For Solaris 7 and Solaris 8, the map files are the same, but edit the named.conf instead of named.boot.

3.Edit the /etc/resolv.conf file. It should look like the following:

domain mydomain.com
nameserver 127.0.0.1 ;if DNS server runs on this host
nameserver 129.200.9.1 ;if this is a remote client

4.Create a symbolic link in /etc/ to either the named.boot or named.conf file and start the DNS (/usr/sbin/in.named).

5.You can verify the DNS is working properly by running some queries to test forward and reverse resolution.
