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

rpc.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.
