Still having problems with SRV DNS queries.

How do you prevent the resolver from appending your domain name to the end of a query?

For example, if my domain name is mydomain.ARPA and I do a lookup for foo.com, how do I prevent my resolver from first trying to resolve foo.com.mydomain.ARPA?

Might be because of

1) Your solaris system is using DHCP to get all info such as IP, Router, DNS server etc
2) You configured DNS while installing Solaris itself
3) OR may be you have configured NIS+ Client to Use DNS
