Starting with /etc/init.d/inetsvc, grepping for named yields:
/usr/bin/pkill -x -u 0 'in.named|inetd'
# server, run the name daemon. Start named prior to: route add net host,
if [ -f /usr/sbin/in.named -a -f /etc/named.conf ]; then
/usr/sbin/in.named &
So that tells us it's BIND 8. And since it's BIND 8, patch clusters probably
won't break functionality to badly (depending on where you put the bind
files, hint /usr/local).
strings /usr/sbin/in.named |grep 8. yields (amoung other lines):
in.named BIND 8.1.2 Tue Oct 6 00:50:47 PDT 1998
BIND 8.1.2
There is also a patch. 107018-01. It is also 8.1.2.

I'd get 8.2.2pl5 and install it.
