Fortunately this is very easy. First find the service name: <pre># svcs -a | grep dns disabled 13:21:43 svc:/network/dns/install:default disabled 13:21:43 svc:/network/dns/client:default disabled 13:21:45 svc:/network/dns/multicast:default disabled 14:29:16 svc:/network/dns/server:default </pre> The last one looks like the right one, so we enable it with <pre># svcadm enable dns/server # svcs -a | grep dns disabled 13:21:43 svc:/network/dns/install:default disabled 13:21:43 svc:/network/dns/client:default disabled 13:21:45 svc:/network/dns/multicast:default online 14:30:50 svc:/network/dns/server:default </pre> This bind package has a file /etc/named.conf.sample, so we copy that to /etc/named.conf and modify it to your liking. For a caching server the only change you probably need to do is adapt the allow-recursion parameter to match your network<pre># svcadm disable dns/server # svcadm enable dns/server </pre>Hope this helps. </div><div class="gmail_extra">Regards, </div><div class="gmail_extra">-- </div><div class="gmail_extra">Natxo </div></div>
