Looks like the document you are using is related to BIND 4 but your system is running at least BIND 8.

Try this DNS How to which has named.conf info/example.

Or even better documentation can be found at docs.sun.com
(Putting you right to the page for Solaris 8 - Naming Setup and Configuration Guide

One other minor thing. When not sure about what version of named you are running, or how it was compiled, you can run the command line:
"strings `whence named` | grep named" and the output will show you if you have a 'named.boot' or a 'named.conf' AND where this particular 'named' expects its config file to reside. Also, most of the time, "named -v" will tell you what version it is.
