sun is definately not in a big hurry to use DNS.  I HIGHLY recommend against
using sun's DNS.  they are way behind the times...  You will need to get into
the code for denying AXFR records anyway, so you might as well just make your
own named from src.  It's free...  I highly recommend making your own resolver
as well, since sun's version is less than adequate.

If you have any more questions about DNS, feel free to e-mail me off-line and
we can get to the bottom of this.  

For anyone who's intersted, I have put the resolver into libc for SunOS 4.1
and made it available in binary and src form via anon ftp to 
alumni.colorado.edu 128.138.240.32 in pub/libc.tar.Z
