problems to upgrade from sun solaris included bind 8.1.2 to the 8.2.2-P5

[Helmar Pabst]

Hallo,

im am runnig the original included bind version 8.1.2 from sun on a 
solaris 2.7 machine - for serveral months now - with no problems
on my site.
Now i decided to upgrade to the latest bind 8.2.2.-P5, everything
with compilation and installation worked fine.
(the reason is because i want to try dhcp ddns updates)

Then i copied the /usr/local/sbin/named to the origanl sun-location
/usr/sbin/in.named and made a symbolic link from /etc/named.conf
to /usr/local/etc/named.conf.

The daemon ist starting well and with nslookup everything works fine.
For instance a nslookup to www.sun.com gets the right answer.

But when i do a dns lookup in practice like
telnet www.sun.com i get a "Hostname lookup failure".
A telnet www.sun.com. (with a trailing dot at the end)
is successfull.
I use the same /etc/named.conf by linking to the /usr/local/etc
directory and all the zone files are the same ...

At home i did it successfull on a test machine also under Solaris
2.7 and everything worked well ... so i suspect something with
my named.conf or zone files.
Has anybody an idea to help me.
Thanks a lot and here is my named.conf file ....
