Hey Devin, As you know, /etc/resolv.conf contains the DNS servers... you've got that part. The next part is to modify /etc/nsswitch.conf. This file specifies where to look, and in what order, for different information maps, such as passwd, host, etc. In the case of "host:" you can have entries like file, dns, ldap, nis, nis+ and now even mdns (multicast DNS). My bet is that you need to include "dns" on that line. There are actually pre-config'ed examples, so you can do this inside the zone: "cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf". Then try again. In Shared IP zones (the default) networking is not configured inside the zone, so /etc/defaultrouter won't do anything inside the zone. However, name services (DNS, NIS, LDAP, etc) are. Fix /etc/nsswitch.conf in the zone and let us know if that clears up the problem. benr. _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
