DNS questions.

We're running Bind version 8.1.2 on Solaris.
How do you flush the DNS cache?
Also, I see the files named.boot and named.conf in /etc. Do I need both of these files? I've read that named.boot is for Bind version 4x, and that named.conf is for Bind version 8.x and greater.
Our resolv.conf file has our internal DNS name server's address.
Shouldn't this address be our external DNS name server's address?

NAME
polygraph-dns-cfg - DNS server configuration tool SYNOPSIS
dns-cfg [--option ...] DESCRIPTION
Given a zone name, DNS names, and IP addresses, dns-cfg builds configuration suitable for use with BIND and, perhaps, other DNS servers. Dns-cfg output consists of three parts. The first part is the text to cut-and-paste into BIND's named.conf file. This part is sent to the standard output. The outer two parts are direct and reverse zone files. Those may be quite large and are dumped on disk into the appropri- ately named files. Dns-cfg can use PGL configuration as the source of information. OPTIONS
--help list of options --version package version info --config <filename> PGL configuration --cfg_dirs <dirs> directories for PGL #includes --zone <str> zone name --addresses <str> IP addresses --names <str> domain names COPYRIGHT
