You absolutely need a root.zone and a root.zone file
To see what a root.zone file looks like download one.

show several ways how to get one.
The IASON project may be helpful:

You must enter your nameserver in the root.zone file.
Dont let it be "hint" but make ist "master"
The root.zone is a normal zone like any other. Dont get
afraid of that single "."
Whatever is not found will be looked up in the root.zone.
There must be a delegation to your existing zone. That is
all you need. Seeing a root.zone your solaris will run.
The only real problem comes up when you have workstations
that can see the outside. Which are the real root-servers?
