Re: VMware Bind
Technically VMware is not the OS but the hypervisor that controls other OS's, such as Windows or Linux. I've implemented BIND 9 on Solaris 10 x86 running on a VMware with no issues.

Re: dnsquery for Solaris
dig was added to Solaris 9. It is not native to Solaris 8 or older.

I'll check on BIND 8 package. Thank you for pointing to a Solaris compatible source. Use dig from a recent BIND package, though you may find it's already there - ours is in /usr/local/bin/dig on our Solaris systems and was installed with BIND 9. I don't know whether it's there if you use the Solaris-supplied BIND. Sure it is: $ ls -l /usr/sbin/dig -r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin75208 Jul 29 2008 /usr/sbin/dig $ fgrep /usr/sbin/dig /var/sadm/install/contents /usr/sbin/dig f none 0555 root bin 75208 48119 121715 SUNWbind (that's a 9.3.5-P1 dig, from a not very up-to-date Solaris 10 installation, but it's been around in Solaris distributions much longer than that). -- Chris Thompson University of Cambridge Computing Service, Email: c...@ucs.cam.ac.ukNew Museums Site, Cambridge CB2 3QH, Phone: +44 1223 334715 United Kingdom. ___ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users ___ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
Summary: Differences between 9.3 and later versions
This mailing list rocks. Many thanks to Stephane Bortzmeyer and Jay Ford. Both where spot on with allow-query. Now BIND 9.7 resolves to the outside. JC jcarrol...@cfl.rr.com wrote: Please do not crucify me. Due to an security audit I have been given the task of upgrading our BIND from 9.3 to a new version (9.7 is preferred). Using the package from sunfreeware.com (Solaris 10/X86) the upgrade seem to work well. However, whenever someone tries to nslookup (or dig) an external site (i.e. cnn.com) they get REFUSED. If I back down to the 9.3 version all is well. I've tried to find what new security feature is required, but alas I can't seem to get it. What changes affect resolving outside sites?
