Dave or anyone else who can help:

1- ns2 is a solaris 8 box.

2- I'm not sure what's the version of bind running on it (I'm
relatively new here). I do "#named -v" and I get nothing. When I
perform "# find / -name named", I only get "/var/named" as output. This
is a directory with all the db.* files in it.

3- Which log file can I look to see this. There is nothing in
/var/adm/messages.0 file.
---------------------------end original

named on a solaris boxen is usually called "in.named" that is generally
stored at /usr/sbin/in.named ...  (IF you're running the "as
distributed" version...)

Do "ps -ef|grep named" to see which version is running.

Where your logfiles are stored depends on your /etc/named.conf...
Typically, this file either exists in /etc or in whatever .../etc
directory that may be named on the command line when named is started.
("ps -ef|grep named" is your friend to find out...)

After you find out WHICH named is running, you can find out the
version, config file, etc, etc...

HTH.
