How to Migrate from BIND 4.9.x to BIND 8.3.3

As of the Solaris 9 release, the named.boot file is ignored.

  1. Become superuser.

  2. Convert the DNS configuration file.

    Run the Korn shell script, /usr/sbin/named-bootconf, to convert a BIND 4.9.x named.boot file to a BIND 8.3.3 named.conf file.
