all of the above - and you can as well add the option
options rotate
into your /etc/resolv.conf - which enables your box to use all nameservers, not just the first.

I'm running on UNIX with Solaris. I need to change the Timezone on the box and was going to make the changes to the files and then reboot the box.
Someone warned me that this method should not be used and that a util (unconfig.sys I think it was) should be used to make the changes.
Any ideas... (2 Replies)

rdnssd
RDNSSD(8) System Manager's Manual RDNSSD(8)
NAME
rdnssd - IPv6 Recursive DNS Server discovery Daemon
SYNOPSIS
rdnssd [-f] [-H merge-hook] [-r resolv-file] [-p pidfile] [-u username]
DESCRIPTON
rdnssd is a daemon program providing client-side support for DNS configuration using the Recursive DNS Server (RDNSS) option, as described
in RFC 5006. Its purpose is to supply IPv6 DNS resolvers through stateless autoconfiguration, carried by Router Advertisements.
rdnssd parses RDNSS options and keeps track of resolvers to write nameservers entries to a resolv.conf(5) configuration file. By default,
it writes its own separate file, and may call an external hook to merge it with the main /etc/resolv.conf. This is aimed at easing coexis-
tence with concurrent daemons, especially IPv4 ones, updating /etc/resolv.conf too.
On Linux, since version 2.6.24, rdnssd takes advantage of a new netlink interface, forwarding RDNSS options validated by the kernel to
userland. Otherwise, it merely listens to all ICMPv6 traffic through a raw socket.
OPTIONS
-f or --foreground
Do not detach from the console. Run the program in the foreground.
-H merge-hook or --merge-hook merge-hook
Execute this hook whenever resolv.conf is updated. If this option is not specified, then no hook will be called.
-h or --help
Display some help and exit.
-p pidfile or --pidfile pidfile
Override the location of the pidfile.
-r resolv-file or --resolv-file resolv-file
Set the path to the generated resolv.conf file.
-u username or --user username
Override the user that the program will run as. By default, it runs as nobody.
-V or --version
Display program version and license and exit.
FILES
/etc/rdnssd/merge-hook
A basic merge hook shipped with rdnssd, to be called with the -H option.
/var/run/rdnssd/resolv.conf
The default resolv.conf(5) file that rdnssd writes its configuration to.
/var/run/rdnssd.pid
The process-id file.
BUGS
rdnssd does not keep track of the lifetimes of the routers associated with some DNS resolvers, whereas it should to strictly comply with
RFC 5006.
When rdnssd uses a raw socket instead of the netlink kernel interface, it does not validate received Neighbor Discovery traffic in any way.
For example, it will always consider Router Advertisement packets, whereas it should not if the host is configured as a router. When the
netlink interface is used, such validation is done by the kernel.
