solaris10 dns problem
Hi,

I'm new to solaris and just installed solaris 10. For some reason I can't resolve stuff. I installed it with the option to use dns. My routing is correct. (I can ping stuff outside my subnet).
I have a resolv.conf which looks like this:

bash-3.00# more resolv.conf
10.32.2.12
10.32.2.11

bash-3.00# ping 10.32.2.12
10.32.2.12 is alive
This is my nsswitch.conf file (the relevant part):

# You must also set up the /etc/resolv.conf file for DNS name
# server lookup. See resolv.conf(4).
hosts: files dns

# Note that IPv4 addresses are searched for in all of the ipnodes databases
# before searching the hosts databases.
ipnodes: files dns

and the dns client service runs:

bash-3.00# svcs | grep dns
online 11:40:56 svc:/network/dns/client:default

However , when I do a nslookup I get nothing:


bash-3.00# nslookup www.google.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

and when I snoop the connection on port 53, I see nothing going out or in...


Any idea's? Help would be greatly appreciated.

thnks

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.
