Bind has xml stats, that you can access over http:

statistics-channels {
  inet * port xxx allow { localhost; YOURIP; };
};

Then point a browser at http://nameserver:port - the xml file lists a 
stylesheet that'll give you a nice HTML view in a browser, and you can 
get per-view, per-zone stats.

Bind will need permissions to open the TCP port. If you're on an SELinux 
system you might need to do:

semanage port -a -t rndc_port_t -p tcp $PORT
