No joy I'm afraid

I started again with a fresh, complete installation, then:

-Replaced nsswitch.conf with nsswitch.dns
-created /etc/nodename file, containing hostname (vbracs-sun10)
-configured resolv.conf using my settings from above (obv with numbers instead of letters)

The contents of /etc/hosts

Code:
#
# Internet host table
#
::1             localhost
127.0.0.1       localhost
142.88.130.64   vbracs-sun10    # Added by DHCP

The output of running "svcs -d dns/server"

Code:
STATE          STIME    FMRI
online         15:24:33 svc:/network/loopback:default
online         15:24:39 svc:/milestone/network:default
online         15:24:42 svc:/system/filesystem/local:default

Enabled dns using "svcadm enable dns/server" as suggested

The output of running "svcs dns/server"

Code:
STATE          STIME    FMRI
maintenance    15:34:11 svc:/network/dns/server:default

"pgrep -ld named" gave no output

The output of "tail /var/adm/messages" with several file not found errors...

Code:
Sep 26 15:34:10 vbracs-sun10 named[8294]: [ID 873579 daemon.error] none:0: open: /etc/named.conf: file not found

Sep 26 15:34:11 vbracs-sun10 svc.startd[7]: [ID 748625 daemon.error] network/dns/server:default failed: transitioned to maintenance (see 'svcs -xv' for details)

I've done a search on named.conf all i can find refers to how it is used to configure a DNS server - but as there are already DNS servers configured on our networks (to which I have no access), wouldnt using this cause conflicts? is there not another way? (here's where I say whilst Ive used Linux, I know very little about how Unix works)
