[SunHELP] DNS-Problem : BIND 9.2.2 and Solaris-nslookup

Hello,

I had setup an BIND-9.2.2-DNS-Server on a Solaris8-Sparc.

DNS-Service is working fine for all MacOS8.x-9.x-, MacOS/X- and
Windows-2000/XP-Clients.

But all Solaris2.6/7/8-Clients get the message from nslookup

*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.8.220: Non-existent
host/domain
*** Default servers are not available

Ping on Solaris-Clients is working !

I've googled for many hours ... found many hints ... but no solution,
which I understand. It seems to be a problem of the internal Solaris8
nslookup. This nslookup needs an additional revers-lookup ... ???

Does anybody know the solution ?

Please, don't tell me, that I have to install BIND-Utilities on every
Solaris-Clients ... this will make me crazy.

Thanx Michael
