The best documentation available to start with 
is the Bv9ARM :
(BIND Version 9 Administrator's Reference Manual)
shipped with every bind9 distribution under doc/ -
on RedHat it is shipped in /usr/share/doc/bind-$version/arm .

This does not make up for the fact that the 
distribution ships no 'named.conf(5)' manpage.

I've checked every major Linux distribution, and
they all ship the same named.conf(5) from BSD 4.4
(1999) which documents bind 8 and is badly out of
date.

It would be great if BIND would supply an up to
date named.conf man-page!

Also, a man-page for zone files is needed.
