I got bind-9.2.2-sol8-intel-local pkg from sun freewear and install to /usr/local.
/usr/local/bin/nslookup(ISC-nslookup) was tried on the state where 
/usr/local/bin/bind(ISC-bind) is not started yet.

$ /usr/local/bin/nslookup localhost
Note:  nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases.
Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead.  Run nslookup with
the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing.
Server:         xxx.xx.xx.xxx
Address:        xxx.xx.xx.xxx#53

Name:   localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1

(succesful test)
