Dave or anyone else who can help:

1- ns2 is a solaris 8 box.

2- I'm not sure what's the version of bind running on it (I'm relatively new
here). I do "#named -v" and I get nothing. When I perform "# find / -name
named", I only get "/var/named" as output. This is a directory with all the
db.* files in it.

3- Which log file can I look to see this. There is nothing in
/var/adm/messages.0 file.

4- Yes, is only rim.com & tmo.blackberry.net that error out. Everything else
resolves just fine on ns2 and EVERYTHING, including rim.com &
tmo.blackberry.net, get resolved on ns1:

root at harley:/var/adm # nslookup
Default Server:  ns2.ci.glendale.ca.us
Address:  206.117.120.66

> rim.com
Server:  ns2.ci.glendale.ca.us
Address:  206.117.120.66

*** ns2.ci.glendale.ca.us can't find rim.com: Non-existent host/domain
> tmo.blackberry.net
Server:  ns2.ci.glendale.ca.us
Address:  206.117.120.66

*** ns2.ci.glendale.ca.us can't find tmo.blackberry.net: Non-existent
host/domain
> yahoo.com
