DNS Server On Solaris 10 - How to setup DNS server on solaris 10

phoboz
Hi !

I wonder if anybody knows how to set up a DNS server on Solaris 10.
I know that the service should be started with:

# svadm enable network/dns/server

But when I write:

# svcs -l /network/dns/server

I get:

fmri svc:/network/dns/server:default
enabled false
state disabled
next_state none
state_time Wed Sep 28 11:53:52 2005
restarter svc:/system/svc/restarter:default
dependency require_all/none file://localhost/etc/named.conf (absent)
dependency require_all/none svc:/system/filesystem/minimal (online)
dependency require_any/error svc:/network/loopback (online)
dependency optional_all/error svc:/milestone/network (online)

So it appears that I must set up the named.conf file. Though I have
no idea how to do that since there is no sample. So my questions are:

1. Should it be placed in /etc/named.conf ?
2. How is the syntax in the file ?
3. What is the minimum requirements that I have to write in the file ?
4. Is there any other stuff I have to do before I start the server ?
5. What port will the server listen to ?

You don't have to answer all of these questions if you can't, just some help
would be nice.

/Alex
