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

wrong syntax:
should be:
Quote:
bash-3.00# more resolv.conf
nameserver 10.32.2.12
nameserver 10.32.2.11

looking into my gentoo-linux :

Quote:

pressytest ~ # more /etc/resolv.conf
domain ips.at
nameserver 192.168.33.20
search ips.at

looking on debian:

test:~#
test:~# more /etc/resolv.conf
search ips.at
nameserver 192.168.33.20
