cannot config DNS - getting Server Failed error
isolated LAN.
putting primary DNS server on Solaris 8 box with hostname of ptm_sesm:
# uname -a
SunOS ptm_sesm 5.8 Generic_108528-19 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-80
right now I'm just using a couple of simplified files, in hopes of getting forward queries going first.

From a DNS client:
#
# hostname
wkstation118
#
# nslookup ptm_sesm
*** Can't find server name for address 10.0.0.103: Server failed
*** Default servers are not available
#
# more resolv.conf
domain itn3att

Have never setup DNS before!! Any ideas appreciated.
thanks,
