I really don't know what is "unclear" about what version does?

            <varlistentry>
              <term><command>version</command></term>
              <listitem>
                <para>
                  The version the server should report
                  via a query of the name <literal>version.bind</literal>
                  with type <command>TXT</command>, class <command>CHAOS</command>.
                  The default is the real version number of this server.
                  Specifying <command>version none</command>
                  disables processing of the queries.
                </para>
              </listitem>
            </varlistentry>
