pfexec cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf in long: Once upon a time NIS+ and YP was more popular than DNS and there were hosts without DNS. For these hosts DNS was a no go. For some weird reason OpenSolaris still lives in these times :) With /etc/nsswitch.conf you set chose which services the os should use for lookup.
