Solaris Naming Setup and Configuration Guide

DNS Forwarding

In the Solaris 7 release, if the /etc/resolv.conf file is present ypstart will start up ypserve with DNS forwarding. If you do not want the DNS forwarding option set, edit the /usr/lib/netsvc/yp/ypstart script to remove the -d option from the ypserv command. You must then reboot the machine.

For more information about using NIS with DNS, refer to Chapter 13, Setting Up DNS Servers and Solaris Naming Administration Guide.
