I just sent out a response about dns relay, that might educate you on why you couldn't figure out the actual isp dns info. But your problem was solved, and I appreciate you thanking me. If you need any other general Solaris help, you can always try out the other OpenSolaris mailing lists, and I will be on most of them to help, otherwise join #opensolaris on freenode or e-mail me directly.
