Any pointers on how to change domain name?


Hi,

Env:
Solaris 8 running on a bunch of E250 and Sparc20
Using DNS (BIND 8.2.7)

Our company has just gone through a merger and we're now adapting a new name. All our servers currently have domain name as "abc.com". Now it will become "def.com". I have some ideas on which files to change (eg. /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/hosts, and the DNS db.xxx zone files). The hostnames and IP addr will NOT change. It's just the domain name part that changes to reflect the new company name.

I just wanted to get some guidelines on how to go about with the change from old domain to new domain. Which file/config changes first?

Has any Unix guru out there done a change in the server's domain name? Any pointers/tips/websites much appreciated.


Rgds,
Sam

To change just the domain name edit the file /etc/defaultdomain
