bind-9 will, by default, be installed in /usr/local/[sbin|bin]
The location of sun-s named could be /usr/sbin/in.named ( i'm guessing here,
i have not bin using sun's named the last 10 years)
Now you have a choice here, either you overwrite sun-s named and keep
suns startup-scripts ( in /etc/init.d/ or you use bind's default
location (/usr/local..) and adjust the startup scripts. There is pro's
and con's with both approaches.
You also have a number of utilities : dig, nslookup and host , you surely
want to use the modern ones. By overwriting the old ones you don't
have to adjust every PATH to have /usr/local/[bin|sbin] before /usr/[bin|sbin] .
The bad thing with overwriting is that an update of solaris might
overwrite your binaries, thus you better keep your build-dirs and
install bind again if you ever applies any solaris patches.

Sorry about my e-mail address, but i'm trying to keep spam out.
Remove "icke-reklam" and it works.
