BIND 9 includes all the relevent RFC's (doc/rfc). There are
quite a few of them. Most of the log messages assume that
you have a basic understanding of the DNS.
If you don't want to read though the RFC's 'DNS and BIND',
reportedly, has a good introductory chapter. I've never
read it because by the time it came out I was well past
needing it. I'd gone from being a user to a developer.
