I am new to this list so I think I am sending it to the right pace.
I am the System Administrator for GT CONEX. We are currently running a
network of Solaris 2.6 servers. We are upgrading our name servers to solaris
7 which has bind 8.1.1 pre installed in the software package from sun. In our
solaris 2.6 name servers we are using bind 4.9.3 or 4.9.4, I am not sure
exactly which one.
How do I set up a BIND 8.1.1 name server if bind is already installed in the
OS software. I am aware that I have to use /etc/named.conf instead of
/etc/named.boot for the dns file and I think I am still supposed to use
/var/named for the individual db files.
What is the difference in the format for bind 8.1.1?
Here is an example of how I have my dns set up right now.
This would be how I have my /var/named individual db files set up for bind
4.9.3, I need to know what the differences are for BIND 8.1.1.

This is how I have my /etc/named.boot file set up for my primary dns name
server. My backbone does my reverses so I don't have to worry about that.
directory /var/named
cache . cache.db
primary websgt.net websgt.db
This is how I have my /etc/named.boot file set up for my seconday dns name
server. My backbone does my reverses so I don't have to worry about that.
directory /var/named
cache .
cache.db
secondary websgt.net 209.185.204.6 websgt.db
If someone can please give me examples of the differences for 8.1.1 are
please do.
