At a minimum, you'll need named and named-xfer. If you want to use "ndc" to
control your nameserver, you'll need that too. The Solaris startup script
runs named conditionally, based on the existence or non-existence of its
config file. But Solaris 2.6 ships with BIND 4, so the config file it's
checking for is /etc/named.boot instead of /etc/named.conf. Either change
the script or use a dummy named.boot to humor it. Solaris 7's startup
script, on the other hand, is BIND 8 friendly.
