using in.named and named.boot on BIND V8

[Ravi Nair]

Well, 
BIND 8 is seen to work since i am able to resolve
names on the dns machine itself as well as other sun
machines on the same network.
ALso if I run the named process with no named.conf
file in /etc  the process runs.Does that mean the
named process is looking for named.conf elsewhere or
it isn't looking at all??
My named.conf file is 
options {
        directory "/etc/domain";
        dump-file "/opt/namedb/named_dump.db";
        memstatistics-file
"/opt/namedb/named_memstats.db";
        named-xfer "usr/local/sbin/named-xfer";
        pid-file "/opt/namedb/named.pid";

};

#
#
#
zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "db.cache";
};

zone "localhost" {
        type master;
        file "db.localhost";
};                 

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "db.0.0.127";
};

zone "5.0.10.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "db.5.0.10";
};

zone "19.166.65.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "db.19.166.65";
};

zone "4.0.10.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "db.4.0.10";
};                         

zone "inv6-sjwisp.net" {
        type master;
        file "db.inv6-sjwisp.net";
};
