O'Reilly has also recently published a "Bind Cookbook" (don't remember the exact title), which has lots of examples of common BIND configurations. Most of the general "Introduction to UNIX/Freebsd" type books seem to have chapters on DNS and BIND as well. I have a feeling you were thinking more in terms of free docs, but for a topic as fundamental as DNS, a good book can be worth the cost of admission.
