Looks pretty much the right sort of thing for a Linux box.

Nominum ship a "nanny" script to check if BIND has crashed
and restart it, under bind-9.x.x/contrib/nanny, the PERL is
self documenting.

BIND is pretty reliable, but you might consider using this
script, or other monitoring tools depending how reliable
your BIND implementation has to be. Anyway try to find out
when BIND has stopped on a box, otherwise you'll only know
when all your servers are dead and the DNS isn't working.
