I got bind-9.2.2-sol8-intel-local pkg from sun freewear and install to /usr/local.
/usr/local/bin/nslookup(ISC-nslookup) was tried on the state where /usr/local/bin/bind(ISC-bind) is not started yet.
$ /usr/local/bin/nslookup localhost
Note: nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases.
Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead. Run nslookup with
the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing.
Server: xxx.xx.xx.xxx
