Just did an install of Solaris 9 yesterday (which is AWFUL, BTW -- I think I'd forgotten!). The installation process informed me that if you have no search lines, it will just use the domain line to search (which is what I thought).

From my experience with Solaris, I believe that domain and search are redundant if both say the same thing. I am not 100% sure on this, but I have a suspicion. Might want to also look at /etc/nsswitch.conf.

This file is wrong. You also need:

search domain.com

Your dig @solaris solaris command showed that you are not resolving correctly. Dig did not return an answer.

Just to confirm, my /etc/resolv.conf looks like this

generated by NetworkManager, do not edit!

No nameservers found; try putting DNS servers into your

ifcfg files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts like so:

DNS1=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

DNS2=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

SEARCH=lab.foo.com bar.foo.com

domain domain.com nameserver 192.168.X.X
