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
