Building Solaris 10 Jumpstart Server

Hi experts,

I'm working on building a new Solaris 10 jumpstart server. Rather than
doing what the Solaris guys here have been doing in the past (that is, just
using the
SUNWCXall cluster for all of their builds), I'd like to work the other way,
hopefully starting
from a minimal install and working myself up.

The client servers I'm building are a pair of DNS servers (Bind 9) on V215s
and a single web/ftp server (with Zones, running Apache 2, vsftpd,
etc.) on a T5120.

My basic jumpstart is working so far, I have the basic "reduced networking"
cluster installed and is installing. I'm using the Jumpstart Enterprise
Toolkit, which simplifies the process quite a bit from when I was building a
Solaris 8 JS server many years ago.

My question, how do I go to a basic SUNWCrnet cluster and work my way up
with the dependencies to find out what a chrooted Bind 9 needs? I know
where I'm at now, and where I need to go.. but I'm just not sure what
the steps are to get there.

Lastly, how does the Sun bundled Bind service compare with the
ISC-downloaded version, and the bundled Apache software vs compiled
from Apache.org?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,
