[Sunhelp] Configuring DNS

[Edward Chase]

/etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/resolv.conf are involved in this

 From my /etc/nsswitch.conf file:

># You must also set up the /etc/resolv.conf file for DNS name
># server lookup.  See resolv.conf(4).
>hosts:      files dns

Adding the "dns" to this line makes resolv.conf work

The /etc/resolv.conf file works the same as in linux.

Hoping that is what you're looking for...
