Ensure the following is true:
1. The Solaris machine has access to the Internet on port 53 UDP and TCP.
2. The named.conf includes a statement like the following:

zone "." {
  type hint ;
  file "named.root" ;
}

3. That the file named.root exists (the file name may be different but 
should agree with the above statement) in the directory specified in the 
named.conf file in the section:

options {
  directory "/var/named";
}

If you made any changes as a result of this email, remember to save the 
files, stop and restart the in.named.

Try this and then write back to the group with details of whether or not 
this helped and what the results are. Include this email in the reply 
and post below my response
