How to configure DNS in Solaris and AIX?

It is very simple.
Solaris
1) Create /etc/resolv.conf file with your DNS server entries
    Ex:
    bash-2.05$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
                      nameserver 10.999.9.999      #First preference server to look
                      nameserver 10.999.9.999      #Second preference server to look
                      search=domain.comp.net

2) Modify the file /etc/nsswitch.conf
    Look for
      "hosts: files"
    in this file and replace it with
     "hosts: files dns"

Thats it. DNS will be enabled


AIX
1) In /etc/netsvc.conf check for
hosts = local, bind


where the entry "bind" is for dns


2) Modify /etc/resolv.conf file with your DNS server entries
    Ex:
    bash-2.05$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
                      nameserver 10.999.9.999      #First preference server to look
                      nameserver 10.999.9.999      #Second preference server to look
                      search=domain.comp.net

Note: You can use smitty to configure this

  10. I comment each time I like a article on a website or
    I have something to valuable to contribute to the conversation.
    It is caused by the sincerness communicated in the article I read.
    And after this post "How to configure DNS in Solaris and AIX?".
    I was actually excited enough to write a thought ;) I actually do have a couple of questions for you if you usually do not mind.
    Could it be just me or do some of the remarks come across as if they are left by brain dead folks?
    :-P And, if you are writing at other places, I would like to keep up with anything new you have to post.
    Could you make a list the complete urls of all your social sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

    trying to find a template or plugin that might be able to
    correct this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share.
    Thank you!
