Hi Mark,
Thank you for your prompt answer and for taking off my worries that I'm
missing something there.

Hello everyone,
When running "make test" on a BIND 9.7.0 installed on a x86 SUN Solaris =
10 machine, I've got this message:
I:NOTE: Many of the tests were skipped because they require that
I: the IP addresses 10.53.0.1 through 10.53.0.5 are configured
I: as alias addresses on the loopback interface. Please run
I: "bin/tests/system/ifconfig.sh up" as root to configure them
I: and rerun the tests.
Is this alias request just for test purpose, or it affects the =
functionality and the performance of DNS Server as well after it goes =
live?
They are just test addresses. The comment is also out of date.
10.53.0.1 through 10.53.0.7 are now used.
It was the first time I saw this message when installing a BIND DNS =
Server from source file, and we never used these aliases on any of our =
machines before. Also, I couldn't find many references on google search =
for loopback alias addresses 10.53.0.1 through 10.53.0.5.
Thank you for any insight!
Julian
