How to change the IP adress on a 4.0D UNIX server ?

[JeanBerthold]

Hello,

I want to rebuild a new DNS server on a Solaris machine.
Before that, I need to deactivate our current Primary DNS server which is based on BIND 4.xxx .

To avoid changing 500 PC and server's resolver, I need to change the IP adress on the Digital server and
setting up the new server whith the old IP adress (which is currently on the Digital machine)

What are the different files on the Digital server I need to update to change it's IP adresse AND for de-activate
the DNS server ?

Sorry for my english which is very bad ... :-(

Thanks again and have a nice day !

to stop the system going out to the DNS, and to just resolv all IP's locally, modify the /etc/svc.conf to just be:

hosts=local

(if it has hosts=local,bind, then it tries to resolv locally and then via dns), and vice versa.

network IP config: /etc/rc.config
name service switch: /etc/svc.conf

to restart the network etc without a reboot etc...

# rcinet restart
