I seem to be stuck on what I presume is a fairly basic question about how networking is configured in opensolaris.
In setting up a new network interface I get the error "Unable to find an address entry for my_new_domain with the specified DNS configuration". Well, ok, sure, I was in the process of setting up the configuration I thought, so this fact doesn't surprise me. But obviously it wants me to have set something up previously somewhere - but where? How I got here: I've successfully installed OpenSolaris 2008.05 and have it running, even managed to install the AMP stack and see the webserver running. Now I'm moving on to try and teach myself about Zones. Running different web applications each in their own Zone is what is attracting me to Solaris right now. I've run into the above error whether I try to use shared IP or exclusive IP zones, and I can't seem to get past it. My install is actually running inside a VMware virtual machine to which I've added several extra (virtual) network interfaces, and I have plenty of IP addresses available on my local subnet. Thanks in advance for any pointers. -- devin
