The installer not finding (or configuring) a DNS server is no big deal.

The DNS server(s) address should be configured in
Code:
/etc/resolv.conf

You can edit that file (or create it if it doesn't exist) and put the ip address of your desired DNS server in there.

A directive "nameserver" plus single ip address will suffice, on the first and only line in the file, fully left justified.

For example to use Google's DNS server which is at 8.8.8.8 simply edit your resolv.conf to be like this:

Code:
nameserver 8.8.8.8

and reboot your box.

EDIT: Original post was technically incorrect, edited post to correct my mistake.

nisd_resolv

rpc.nisd_resolv(1M)					  System Administration Commands				       rpc.nisd_resolv(1M)

NAME

       rpc.nisd_resolv, nisd_resolv - NIS+ service daemon

SYNOPSIS

       rpc.nisd_resolv [-v | -V]  [ -F [-C fd]] [-t xx] [-p yy]

DESCRIPTION

       rpc.nisd_resolv	is  an auxiliary process which provides DNS forwarding service for NIS hosts requests to both ypserv and rpc.nisd that are
       running in the NIS compatibility mode. It is generally started by invoking  rpc.nisd(1M) with the -B  option  or  ypserv(1M)  with  the	-d
       option. Although it is not recommended, rpc.nisd_resolv can also be started independently with the following options.

       This  command requires that the /etc/resolv.conf file be setup for communication with a DNS nameserver. The nslookup utility can be used to
       verify communication with a DNS nameserver.  See resolv.conf(4) and nslookup(1M).

OPTIONS

       -F	Run in foreground.

       -C fd	Use  fd for service xprt (from nisd).

       -v	Verbose. Send output to the syslog daemon.

       -V	Verbose. Send output to stdout.

       -t xx	Use transport  xx.

       -p yy	Use transient program#	yy.

NOTES

       NIS+ might not be supported in future releases of the SolarisTM Operating Environment. Tools to aid the migration from  NIS+  to  LDAP  are
       available in the Solaris 9 operating environment. For more information, visit http://www.sun.com/directory/nisplus/transition.html.
