My DNS server (Solaris 8) is in BIND 9.2.1. The TCP port 53 is LISTEN in v4/v6 and the UDP port is Idle in v4/v6 (netstat -an).
I have two other stations, the first is a FreeBSD which I can make DNS request on the server without any problem. With the second station (Solaris 8), DNS requests don't function.
However, This station Solaris 8 doesn't have any applications that only use IPv4, and the configurations files are good, because they are the same one that on the FreeBSD (/etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts, only one differs but it is typically for Solaris : /etc/nsswitch.conf).
Any Idee ?

I've been running BIND 9 on Solaris 8 for 2 years now. It works just fine.
NTP 4.1.72 works toom so you can have IPv6 NTP.

It works under Solaris 9, because I'm doing that. I would think it'd work
under 8 as well, since it has built in IPv6 support too. Just put an IPv6
address after 'nameserver' in /etc/resolv.conf.. for example, mine is just
'nameserver ::1'.
Just be careful that there aren't any applications that only use IPv4 which use /etc/resolv.conf to find nameservers but do their own name resolution instead of using the system libraries. Squid is like this, although it fortunately allows you to override the /etc/resolv.conf settings with a configuration file directive.
