Hi
In java version 1.4
How can i get the list of the DNS servers configured on my operating system?
And how can I change the current (primary) dns server the InetAddress class is resolving the hosts with to another one?
Thanks

[root@solaris ~]# cat /etc/named.conf
options {
directory "/var/named"; # Working directory
pid-file "named.pid"; # Pid file in working dir
dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
memstatistics-file "/var/named/data/named_mem_stats.txt";
* If there is a firewall between you and nameservers
* you want to talk to, you might need to uncomment the
* query-source directive below. Previous versions of
* BIND always askedquestions using port 53, but BIND
* 8.1 uses an unprivileged port by default.
# query-source address * port 53;
//zone "." {
// type hint;
// file "named.ca";
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "named.local";
notify no;
logging {
channel default_debug {
file "data/named.run";
severity dynamic;
[root@solaris ~]# mkdir /var/named
[root@solaris ~]# mkdir /var/named/data
[root@solaris ~]# svcadm enable /network/dns/server:default
Now you have you own DNS server
