Changing static IP and DNS in SCO 5.0.x 2

[pfilippone]

Some newbie questions:

(1)
Changing the DNS config of a SCO openserver 5.0.6 box.

Some user workstations on the network are pointing to this SCO box for DNS resolution. In turn, this SCO box forwards DNS requests to a DNS server at the ISP.
Where in the SCO configs do you set the DNS address for forwarding DNS requests?

(2)
Changing IP address of SCO box. SCO 5.0.4
I see where to change it in SCOADMIN, Network config.
Is there all there is to it?
Is a reboot needed?

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

1- /etc/named.conf
2- yes....you may need to edit /etc/hosts ... the kernel is rebuilt when you leave netconfig and to take advantage of all the changes you will need to reboot.
