Hello,
I've completed the build and install of BIND 8.2.2 on Solaris 2.6 without
incident.
During testing I realized the search directive in /etc/resolv.conf is not
functioning properly. The resolv.conf looks similar to:
nameserver <IP address>
search <my_domain> <2nd domain> <3rd domain> <4th domain>
I am only searching 4 domains with the my_domain as the default, but nslookup
does not resolve a query in either the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th domain unless the query
is fully qualified. The <sub_domain>.zone.bak files reside on the server.
Nslookup resolves a query in the default domain just fine.
I've reviewed the User Groups' email archives for October and November without
success.
If anyone has information on possibly something I needed to do during the build
or install to resolve this problem, please contact me.
Thank you for your support,
Michael
