i'm pulling my hair out getting a solaris 8 box to work as a caching name server
i've gone through the sun docs as well as a Solaris Network Admin book.

while the book is fair, it lacks detail and i'm sure there are things it's missing on getting a caching only name server working.

as for the sun docs... what it has is really miserable. i can't make anything out of it.

anyways, i've been told you need a named.boot, named.conf and named.ca.

i downloaded the latest named.root file and renamed it to named.ca.

then i used the example for the named.conf and slightly altered the named.boot.

# cat named.conf
options {
directory "/etc/named";
pid-file "/etc/named.pid";
};

zone "." in {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};



# cat named.conf
options {
directory "/etc/named";
pid-file "/etc/named.pid";
};

zone "." in {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};


and idea what to do. this is what i get when i try the nslookup:

# nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 127.0.0.1: Server failed

DERIVATIONS(7)						Derivations of Applied Mathematics					    DERIVATIONS(7)

NAME

       derivations - book: Derivations of Applied Mathematics

DESCRIPTION

       Understandably,	program sources rarely derive the mathematical formulas they use.  Not wishing to take the formulas on faith, a user might
       nevertheless reasonably wish to see such formulas somewhere derived.

       Derivations of Applied Mathematics is a book which documents and derives many of the mathematical formulas and methods implemented in  free
       software  or used in science and engineering generally.	It documents and derives the Taylor series (used to calculate trigonometrics), the
       Newton-Raphson method (used to calculate square roots), the Pythagorean theorem (used to calculate distances) and many others.

READING THE BOOK

       Among other ways, you can read the book on your computer screen by opening the file /usr/share/doc/derivations/derivations.ps.gz  with  the
       gv(1) program under X(7).  To print the book on a standard postscript printer, just zcat(1) then lpr(1) the same file.

FILES

       /usr/share/doc/derivations/derivations.ps.gz
	      the book in postscript format
       /usr/share/doc/derivations/derivations.pdf.gz
	      the book in PDF

BUGS

       The book is a work in progress.

AUTHOR

       The  book  and  this manpage are written by Thaddeus H. Black, who also maintains the Debian package derivations in which they are distrib-
       uted.  Users who need to contact the author in his role as Debian package maintainer can reach him at <thb@debian.org>.	However,  most	e-
       mail will naturally be about the book itself: this should be sent to <thb@derivations.org>.
