Configuring BIND in SAM, Name Server Statistics

Page 85 highlights

Domain Name Service qualified domain names. Instructions for using this utility are in the comments at the beginning of the script itself. To Update /var/adm/inetd.sec and $HOME/.netrc Flat or string-type host names that are not hosts in the local domain must be converted to fully qualified domain names in the /var/adm/inetd.sec file and in all $HOME/.netrc files. No automated utility exists for performing this task, so you must do it manually. To Update /etc/hosts To provide an alternate means of lookup if the name server is down, you should maintain a minimal /etc/hosts file. It should contain the host names and the internet addresses of the hosts in your local domain. Configuring BIND in SAM On the local system, you can configure a primary server, a secondary server, a caching-only server, and resolver; start, restart, or stop the server; specify a parent domain, update the DNS database files and configure NS resource records. More information on configuring BIND in SAM can be found in its help screens. You can get to the DNS section by selecting Networking and Communications and DNS (BIND). Name Server Statistics The name server keeps track of various statistics. You can print these statistics to the file /var/tmp/named.stats by issuing the following command: # /usr/sbin/sig_named stats 80

To Update /var/adm/inetd.sec and $HOME/.netrc
Flat or string-type host names that are not hosts in the local domain must be converted to fully qualified
domain names in the
/var/adm/inetd.sec

files. No automated utility exists
for performing this task, so you must do it manually.
To Update /etc/hosts
To provide an alternate means of lookup if the name server is down, you should maintain a minimal
/etc/hosts
