in.named, /etc/resolv.conf

[Roger Gonzalez]

I'm having what seems to be an inordinate amount of difficulty getting
nameserver access set up for our Sun 3/160 running SunOS 4.1.  I want
to use other machines as nameservers.  I have set up resolv.conf containing
the address of the nameserver, as described in the manual.  It works when
I use the program nslookup.  I'm not sure what to do with named.local,
named.boot, or named.ca.  I understand more or less how to set them up
if *your* machine is the nameserver, but the one sentence describing how
to set it up so that resolv.conf is used was very noninformative.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
