What you need to do is to set up an caching secondary server. My recommendation would be to install the latest bind (8.2.2 patchlevel5) instead of using Sun's in.named for security reasons. I can tell you how to set up a caching DNS with Sun's in.named or with bind, but I need to know which you will use.

I was looking at BIND and have never configured/installed it but seems it is complicated to install plus I don't have any compiler installed on the machine. It might be easier to use Sun's in.named.<br />

Thanks

There are several files that need to be set up. It's going to be a pain to extract them from one of these comment boxes, so if you'll send an email to jlevie@bellsouth.net I'll send you a tar file that has all the pieces. You'll need to do some minor edits on them to suit your network.

Can someone help me with the basic DNS configuration on Solaris 2.6.<br />
I would like to install a DNS server that would resolve the internal names by itslef but resolve internet names (outside) from our main DNS server.<br />
<br />
I would like step by step procedure to configure this server. This server is currently using existing DNS server to resolve the names.<br />

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances.

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
