I was misconfigured the named.boot as Sergey pointed out in the
following comment I received.
After removing the wrong configuration line off the named.boot file
and do kill -HUP `cat /etc/named.pid` the error message is gone from
the message log.
The original question:
We are running Solaris 2.6 and the server has been configured to work
as secondary dns server and lookup is working great without problem
but I received following message from the messages file every 15
minutes. Could anyone tell me which process causes this error message
in message log file?
The machine's ip is 128.1.50.8

You have misconfigured DNS server for zone 50.1.128.in-addr.arpa.
The line, that describes this zone in [/etc/named.boot] should look
like: primary 50.1.128.in-addr.arpa
<name of file with zone data>
IMHO, now it looks like:
secondary 50.1.128.in-addr.arpa 128.1.50.8 <name of
file with zone data>
^^^^^^^^^^^
If you try to set up secondary DNS server, set this ^ to primary
server' address, otherwise make correct record.

Though I've never seen this error myself, it sounds to me like you
have zone configured in named.conf for 8.50.1.128.IN-ADDR.ARPA
specifying type slave with 128.1.50.8 as the master.
If this is the case, and I'm not totally off-base, I'm thinking you
should change the "masters" ip to your primary nameserver.
From:Kumurasen Govindan <GKUMA@binariang.maxisnet.com.my>
t seems that your secondary is trying to do a zone transfer with the
primary server but instead it is refering to itself rather than the
primary DNS.
I believe that you might have a wrong address entry for the primary
server in one of your named files, where you might have entered the
address of your secondary server instead of your primary servers
address.
I suggest that you should check your named.boot file and all your SOA
records and address entries in your secondary DNS.

Looks like a bad entry in /etc/named.boot. The zone it is trying to
fetch
(8.50.1.128.IN-ADDR.ARPA) is invalid because it is pointing to a
single IP address rather than a zone. A valid zone name for DNS
reverse maps would be 50.1.128.IN-ADDR.ARPA. It also appears that you
have configured this machine
as DNS secondary to this zone, but the primary server points to
itself.
