I don't think restarting svc:/network/dns/client does much; last I looked it just waits for DHCP (if present) to fool with /etc/resolv.conf. In particular, I don't think it runs anything that caches. One thing you're forgetting is nscd -i hosts nscd -i ipnodes or if you prefer svcadm restart sfc:/system/name-service-cache (although that flushes everything including account info, not just host names and addresses). -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
