I just tried to download it now... It worked fine.
Try to download it again.
Here is the named.conf template file from the download.
Code:
//
//james liu 2/23/96
//revised 3/23/2000
//
//dns configuration file compatible with solaris 2.7 and later. This
//configuration is targeted at primary and secondary dns server setups.
//
//for solaris 2.6 and earlier, do not edit this file, but
//see the "named.boot" file for instructions.
//
//installation instructions:
//
//we assume you've unpacked this distribution.
//
//step 1;
//-------
//edit named.conf, named.local, named.cache, named.mydomain, and
//named.domain.rev and globally change all instances of "myhost" to
//the actual hostname, and "mydomain" to the desired domain name.
//also, change the ip numbers for the domain to match those for your
//network. for the reverse domain, just reverse the numbers for the
//class of address. this template is designed for a single class c.
//
//step 2:
//-------
//to use this, and create a symbolic link to this in /etc filesystem
//link to this file: ie:
//
//# ln -s [path-to-this]/named.conf /etc/named.conf
//
//step 3:
//-------
//start the dns server. /usr/sbin/in.named.
//
//
//
//for secondary domain name servers, use these entries; format is:
//<dns type> <domain> <prim. ip(s)> <filename>
//note, you can spec more than one prim. ip to download from
//in addition, the filename is the name to store the map in. you don't
//have to create this file. the common practice is to assign filenames
//as *.bak for files this server caches as a secondary dns relative to
//some other dns primary.
//
//almost all dns's can use themselves to resolve the local host
//you usually will leave this entry alone
//
//all dns's need to spec top-level cache servers that resolve world internet
//hostnames. there can be one or more entries and are spec'd in the cache
//file.
//
//if you are a subnet as a part of a larger network, (e.g. your domain is
//"mysubnet.mydomain.com", you may want to set forwarding to a higher
//level server (the one that serves names for "mydomain.com". if so,
//uncomment the 'forwarders' line below and edit it for your network
//parameters.
//
//specify the directory prefix where you plan to store the dns map files.
//the default here is /var/named.
options {
directory "/var/named";
//
//uncomment if you want to send queries outside of the primary to a
//a forwarders server.
// forwarders {
// 129.150.254.2;
// };
};
//choose between primary or being a secondary server. a secondary dns is
//simply a server that downloads the dns maps from some other primary or
//secondary. the default here is to be a primary and have only one
//class c subnet. the dns needs a "forward map" that looks up ip address
//for a given hostname, and a "reverse map" that looks up hostname for
//a given ip address. if you have multiple subnets and domain name spaces,
//you should have multiple forward maps, and/or multiple reverse maps.
//in many networks, there is a single domain name space that spans several
//subnets, in which case, there will be one forward map, and many reverse
//maps.
zone "mydomain.com" in {
type master;
file "named.mydomain";
};
add more zones if you have multiple subnets as primary
zone "9.200.129.in-addr.arpa" in {
type master;
file "named.mydomain.rev";
};
//
//you can make this a secondary rather than primary by uncommenting
//these lines and commenting out the above primary zones and replacing
//with these below. The masters IP address(es) are set to whatever your
//masters are.
//zone "mydomain.com" in {
// type slave;
// file "named.mydomain.bak";
// masters { 129.200.9.1; 129.200.9.2 };
//};
//zone "9.200.129.in-addr.arpa" in {
// type slave;
// file "named.mydomain.9.bak";
// masters { 129.200.9.1; 129.200.10.1 };
//};
//zone "10.200.129.in-addr.arpa" in {
// type slave;
// file "named.mydomain.10.bak";
// masters { 129.200.10.1; 129.200.9.1 };
//};
// don't usually need to mess with this entry. You may need to edit
// the map file, named.local, however.
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" in {
type master;
file "named.local";
};
// nothing to do here.
zone "." in {
type hint;
file "named.cache";
};
//---------------end named.conf------------------
hi to all.
I'm trying to use the sendmail command to generate some reports and I cant use it. The mails i try to send simply won't go out, instead I receive a response from the system sayng that the host is unknown.

bindsetup(8) System Manager's Manual bindsetup(8)Name
bindsetup - set up the Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND)/Hesiod service
Syntax
/usr/etc/bindsetup [ -c [ -d directory ] -b binddomain name1,IP1 name2,IP2 ... ]
Description
The command sets up the Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND)/Hesiod service on your system and places and resolution under BIND/Hesiod con-
trol. You can use this command to set up your system as a primary, secondary, slave, or caching server, or as a client.
In order to run BIND/Hesiod, your system's host name must include the BIND domain name. The BIND host name consists of the local host name
plus the BIND domain name, separated by periods. For example, the BIND host name for a system whose local host name is and whose BIND
domain name is is
The command edits the and files and changes the local host name to the BIND host name, if it is not there already.
If the command changes your system's host name, you should reboot the system to be sure that the change is propagated throughout the sys-
tem.
Before you run , your system must be established on a local area network. In addition, you must know the BIND domain name for your local
area network, and whether your system will be a primary, secondary, slave, or caching server, or a client.
The command asks if you want to run a Kerberos authentication server. You must already have set up Kerberos to do do. For more informa-
tion, see the Guide to Kerberos.
You should run the command as superuser and with the system in multiuser mode.
If you use the option with the respective arguments, the command sets up your system as a BIND/Hesiod client non-interactively.
If you run the command with no arguments, a menu is displayed giving you a choice of responses. You are then prompted for further informa-
tion. Before exits, it lists the files that have been updated.
Once BIND/Hesiod is installed on a machine, it cannot be used until the file is modified to contain BIND entries on the desired database
lines. The command reminds a user to run or edit the file manually.
Options-c Sets up your system as a BIND/Hesiod client according to the following arguments you supply on the command line:
-d directory
This option and argument are required if you are setting up a diskless client from the diskless server. The directory is the
full path name of the root directory for your system (a diskless client) on the diskless server. The following is an example
of a root directory for a diskless client named
/dlclient0/orange.root
-b binddomain
This is the name of the BIND domain on which your system will be a BIND client. For example, is a sample BIND domain name.
name,IP This is the host name and the IP address of the BIND server on the domain, for example You can specify one or more BIND server
by listing more name,IP arguments, each separated by a space.
