Setting up the DNS resolver on solaris
======================================
--edit /etc/resolv.conf and add the following (of course substituting the
appropriate stuff for domain name and ip addresses of DNS servers):
-------------------------------
search unixpeople.com.org
nameserver 206.177.130.135
nameserver 10.246.66.10
-------------------------------
--edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and change the line "hosts: files" to:
"hosts: files dns"
