IT War Room - Technical Stuff

DNS Client Setup:
First Create the file called /etc/resolv.conf - which includes the primary and secondary DNS server IP address for Solaris system, it can be your own DNS server or your ISPs DNS server:
# touch /etc/resolv.conf
Open /etc/resolv.conf using vi text editor:
# vi /etc/resolv.conf
Add the following lines to it:

search nixcraft.in
nameserver 202.54.1.30
nameserver 202.54.1.18

Where,

• nameserver IP : It is IP of first DNS server
• search nixcraft.in : Default domain name to search. For example, if you type command nslookup www, it will search it as www.nixcraft.in

2) Enable the name resolving using DNS as follows:
# cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf
3) Test new name server by running the nslookup command as follows:
# nslookup nixcraft.in
OR
# /usr/sfw/sbin/nslookup nixcraft.in
Output:

Server:  gwbsd2vsnl.nixcraft.in
Address:  192.168.1.202

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    nixcraft.in
Address:  202.71.128.225
