Migrating 8.x.x BIND to 9.0.1

I am upgrading/installing 9.0.1 using a variant of my "old" 8.x.x files, 
and am getting the following error message in my daemon-log file:

Dec 18 15:22:20 m1flint named[24382]: starting BIND 9.0.1
Dec 18 15:22:20 m1flint named[24382]: loading configuration from 
'/etc/named.conf'
Dec 18 15:22:20 m1flint named[24382]: zone 'bind': wrong class for view 
'<default view>'
Dec 18 15:22:20 m1flint named[24382]: zone configuration for 'bind' failed: 
failure
Dec 18 15:22:20 m1flint named[24382]: loading configuration: failure
Dec 18 15:22:20 m1flint named[24382]: exiting (due to fatal error)

The named.conf (in /etc) for 'bind' looks like:

zone "bind" chaos {
         type master;
         file "primary/bind";
         allow-query {
                 trusted;
         };
         allow-transfer {
                 none;
         };
};

and the "primary/bind" contains:

; File /etc/dns/primary/bind
$ORIGIN bind.
$TTL 86400
@       1D      CHAOS SOA       localhost.      root.localhost. (
                                 2000121801              ; serial
                                 3H                      ; refresh
                                 1H                      ; retry
                                 1W                      ; expiry
                                 1D )                    ; minimum
                 CHAOS NS        localhost.
; EOF

Looking at the 'options' document, the named.conf seems okay, except I 
haven't implemented a view declaration in this file. While my 3rd edition 
Bind book talks about it, regretfully, I don't know if it applies or not, 
nor if it is even applicable.

Can someone point me in the right direction or lend a hand?

Thanks.
