BIND 9 source tar has extensive documentation. 

BIND 9 has various test data giving examples of syntax which is
the same between versions 8 and 9, with 9 being occaisonally
stricter in checking.

The syntax is laid down in the RFC's, to allow exchange of files
between different DNS server implemetations.

BIND 9 is also available for NT, but I don't do NT.
