DNS

Client

# svccfg -s svc:/network/dns/client setprop config/nameserver = net_address: "( 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 )"
# svccfg -s svc:/network/dns/client setprop config/search = astring: "timmann.de blindhuhn.de"
# svcadm refresh svc:/network/dns/client:default
# svcadm restart svc:/network/dns/client:default

Activate dns in nameservice switch (nsswitch.conf):

# perl -pi -e "s/^hosts:\s+files$/hosts: files dns/g" /etc/nsswitch.conf
# nscfg import -f svc:/system/name-service/switch:default
# svcadm refresh name-service/switch
# svcprop -p config/host svc:/system/name-service/switch:default
files\ dns

Server

# groupadd -g 53 dns
# useradd -u 53 -g dns -d /var/named -m dns
# usermod -A solaris.smf.manage.bind dns
# svccfg -s svc:network/dns/server:default setprop start/group = dns
# svccfg -s svc:network/dns/server:default setprop start/user  = dns
# svccfg -s svc:network/dns/server:default setprop options/ip_interfaces = IPv4
# svccfg -s svc:network/dns/server:default setprop options/configuration_file = /etc/named.conf
# svcadm refresh svc:network/dns/server:default
# svcadm enable  svc:network/dns/server:default
